BARE International, Inc. was founded in 1987 after its founders, Dale and Michael Bare, realized that current ‘mystery shop’ companies were providing only limited services to local businesses. Setting out to build a company that would make consistent services available at a national level, BARE soon established its expertise in the Hospitality Industry by providing Mystery Shop Guests and Integrity Audits to hotel and restaurant chains across the United States. By 1998, BARE was recognized as a premier resource for the retail, hospitality, health & fitness, financial, and automotive industries across the globe.

In addition to providing unmatched quality of service and actionable results for clients, BARE also strives to be the best source of independently contracted mystery evaluator project roles for qualified individuals looking to get paid for interacting with and making a difference for brands they love. We believe that creating the best experience possible for evaluators has a major impact on our ability to deliver the best product to our clients. We’re constantly developing ways to support our evaluators with training resources, easy access to Project Managers, and clear guidelines. The BARE experience has proven to be one of the best in the business -- many of our evaluators work with us for several years or more. Find out more or enhance your current experience as a Mystery by visiting our community today
