Hire us to know about any town or city.

1. Taking good photos

Clients decide with their eyes, so your photos carry the report.

• Wipe the lens first. A clean lens is half the job.
• Use daylight when you can. Stand with the light behind you, facing the place, so the photo comes out bright and clear.
• Keep the phone steady. Rest your elbows on something solid if your hands shake.
• Take one wide photo that shows the whole place, then close photos of the details that matter.
• Keep the horizon straight. A tilted photo looks careless even when the work was good.

For food:

• Shoot from the side at table level, then one more from above. Show the full portion, not just a corner of the plate.
• Photograph the menu or the price board too, so the prices in your message match what you saw.
• Skip the flash indoors. It makes good food look tired.

For places:

• Photograph the entrance and the street outside, so the client can picture arriving.
• Photograph anything you mention in your message: the sign, the seating, the view, and any problem you spotted.

2. Writing clear messages to clients

• Short, honest, specific. Say what you saw, what it costs, and what you think.
• Always include prices. "Lunch was USh 18,000" beats "lunch was affordable" every time.
• Answer the question that was asked first, then add one useful extra at most.
• If you do not know yet, say so, and say when you will check. Never guess.
• Warm and plain, like talking to a neighbour. No stiff, formal language.

A good message sounds like this: "I visited at 1pm today. The place was half full, service took about 10 minutes, and the chicken luwombo was USh 18,000. Worth it if you are not in a hurry."

3. Handling receipts

• Photograph every receipt, every time, before you leave the place.
• Lay it flat, in good light, with all four corners in the frame. The photo must be readable without zooming.
• Check that the date, the place, and the total are all visible. If anything is cut off, take it again.
• Send the photo to the team the same day, with one line saying what it was for.
• Keep the paper receipts together in one envelope until the team confirms your expense is settled.

4. Your pay and benefits, explained

• You are paid every week by mobile money, straight to the wallet you chose when you applied.
• We send your pay ahead of time, so you can get started without waiting on money.
• Weekly pay is USh 282,500 in total: base pay USh 200,000, lunch allowance USh 50,000, and transport allowance USh 32,500.
• The lunch allowance covers a simple local lunch on working days. The transport allowance covers your local trips around town for work.
• Paid food tasting is separate. When the job sends you to taste, that money is a work expense and never comes out of your pay.
• Performance bonuses land monthly, between USh 50,000 and USh 150,000, based on happy clients, finished checks, and honest reports sent on time.
• Health cover starts after the first month, up to USh 300,000 a year.
• If a real emergency hits, you can ask for a mobile-money advance of up to USh 100,000.
• Sundays and public holidays are paid rest days. Your pay never shrinks for resting.
