Now Hiring A Festive Food Tester: Get Paid £200 To Critique Christmas Menus At Home
Last modified:Is Christmas your favourite time of year? Are you partial to a takeaway or two? If so, we might just have the job of your dreams waiting for you.
As a specialist website for restaurant and takeaway insurance – we keep a keen eye on the takeaway trends in the UK. This year many brands are offering their limited-edition Christmas menus via delivery apps like Deliveroo, UberEats and Just Eat – which means that festive foodie fans can merrily munch without even having to leave their home.
It got us thinking – from the Greggs Festive Bake to Pret’s Christmas sandwich, what is the best Christmas food out there?
Well we’re looking for a Festive Food Tester to find out and settle the debate once and for all!
The Role
MoneyBeach.co.uk is looking for a takeaway-loving, crazy-for-Christmas individual to try a range of items from the nation’s favourite restaurants, shops and takeaways.
You’ll get a £75 voucher to be spent on your choice of festive foods, all to be ordered via a delivery app. Each item will then need to be rated on: taste, value for money and levels of festive-ness.
As all food will be delivered to you, you don’t even need to leave your home to complete it!
When you’ve completed the task we’ll pay you £200.
The Task
- Browse the delivery app of your choice to select a range of Christmas-themed food or drinks (see our list of the UK’s Most Popular Festive Foods below for inspiration)
- (optional) Light a Christmas candle, pop on a Christmas jumper and select your favourite Christmas playlist on Spotify to start creating the all-important Christmas feels
- Once your treats have arrived, let the festive feasting begin!
- Take a photo of the treat before you tuck in, then enjoy! Note down your thoughts on taste, value and general Christmassy-ness of each magical morsel
- Upload your photos and provide your feedback to MoneyBeach.co.uk
