Common Questions

Everything you need to know before making a decision. If you don’t find your answer here, the free 15-minute call is the right place to ask.

Mystery Audit

What if my staff recognises you during the visit?

It doesn’t happen. Our evaluators are not public figures, they never operate in the same local market where they live. We enter as normal customers because we are, for that evening. It is the foundation of the service: if we weren’t anonymous, we wouldn’t make sense.

Will the report be shared with anyone other than me?

No. The Playbook is a confidential document delivered exclusively to the owner or manager who commissioned the service. We never share observations, data or evaluations with third parties. Anonymity works in both directions: we protect ourselves during the visit and protect you afterwards.

How do you guarantee the observations are objective?

We use a structured evaluation grid with over 40 observation points, the same for every venue, in every country. We don’t evaluate personal tastes: we evaluate measurable service standards. If water is brought to the table in 9 minutes, that’s a fact. If nobody returns to the table after serving food, that’s a fact. Facts don’t have opinions.

What happens if I disagree with what you write?

It happens, and it’s normal. That’s why the debrief call is not a presentation, but a real conversation. If you have context that changes the reading of an observation, we want to hear it. The goal is not to be right, but to arrive together at a useful interpretation.

What does the report look like? How detailed is it?

The CCC Playbook is not a questionnaire with star ratings. It is a structured document with a scorecard for each area, the description of every situation observed, the reason why it represents a problem and, above all, concrete actions to resolve it in order of priority. We don’t just tell you what’s wrong. We tell you how to fix it and in what order. You can request an anonymised example before deciding.

Why do I have to pay 70% before you even visit?

Because the visit requires preparation, travel and time dedicated exclusively to your venue. The 70% covers the work that happens before and during the visit. The remaining 30% is settled before delivery of the Playbook, when the work is complete and the document is ready. It is a transparent structure, not a one-sided guarantee.

Do you only work with venues that already have problems?

No. We work with those who want to improve, not with those who are in crisis. Some of our clients are already doing well, but they know there is a difference between doing well and doing excellently. A Mystery Audit is not an emergency diagnosis. It is a growth tool, like an annual review or a menu revision.

How long does it take between the visit and delivery of the Playbook?

The Playbook is delivered within 7 working days of the visit. The debrief call is scheduled in the 3 days following delivery, so you have time to read it carefully before discussing it together.

What happens after the debrief call? Are you available for follow-up questions?

Yes. After the call you have 30 days to contact us with specific questions about the Playbook, by email, at no additional cost. If you want more structured support in implementation, the Core Plus service exists precisely for those who want to turn observations into concrete results in the following 90 days.

Do you really operate in all four countries, or is that just marketing?

We really operate in Ireland, UK, Italy and Spain. Our team has direct experience in these markets. We don’t simply transfer a method from one country to another. We know the cultural differences in service, the expectations of local customers and the sector benchmarks for each market. For Italy and Spain, travel expenses apply, clearly indicated in the pricing.

AI Workforce Optimisation

I don’t have an IT department. Can I still use these services?

It is designed precisely for you. AI Workforce Optimisation is built for those without technical expertise: we manage all the complexity. What we need from you is access to your email, an overview of the tools you already use and two or three hours of your time in the first week. We handle the rest.

Are my data and my customers’ data safe?

We work with tools that comply with the GDPR and UK GDPR (the European and British regulations on the protection and privacy of personal data) in force in all the countries where we operate. Access to your email is read-only during the diagnosis phase. All technical and legal details are discussed and agreed before the project begins, with no surprises.

If I stop working with you, what remains in my business?

Everything that has been built remains yours, 100%. Accounts, platforms and AI agents are registered in your company’s name and we deliver the complete documentation of every system.

The truth is that an AI infrastructure is not a website that manages itself once it is online. It needs to be monitored, updated and continuously adapted, because models evolve, processes change and what works today may not work tomorrow. It is a living ecosystem.

What we bring is not just the initial build, but the expertise to keep it performing over time.

Pricing and general questions

How do I know if it’s worth the investment before I’ve made it?

Start with the free 15-minute call. At the end of that conversation you will know exactly whether CCC is the right choice for you, and we will know whether we are in a position to genuinely help you. If we aren’t, we will say so. We don’t sell services to those who don’t need them or who aren’t ready to use them.

Do you offer discounts or special prices for booking multiple services?

The prices on the site already reflect the real value of each service. We don’t make generic discounts, but for those who want to combine Mystery Audit and Core Plus, or Audit and AI Optimisation, we evaluate the most suitable solution together and the price takes the overall journey into account. In the call we will talk about your needs and at the end you will receive a quote tailored specifically for you.
