N-site Limited Partnership

What N-site Limited Partnership does

N-site Limited Partnership (Nsite) is a U.S. mystery shopping and customer experience (CX) measurement firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in West Hollywood, California. The company operates a field network of more than 10,000 trained mystery shoppers and delivers over 5,000 audit reports per year across all 50 U.S. states, with a stated 24–72 hour turnaround per report and a personal management review of every deliverable. Service breadth spans mystery shopping, customer experience audits, market research, employee incentive programs, competitive intelligence, and related consulting, serving clients in restaurants, retail, healthcare, casinos, real estate, and education.

The technology layer centers on an AI-enabled analytics dashboard that surfaces automated recommendations, accepts plain-language data queries, and prioritizes risk findings for client users — layered on top of the human shopper network rather than replacing it. Underlying stack details, including any proprietary models or third-party model dependencies, are not publicly disclosed.

The business model is B2B and consultative, sold direct by a small (1–10 employee), founder-led team under Robert Countryman. Pricing is per-shop with volume discounts, supplemented by ancillary research, audit, and incentive engagements. Named enterprise customers span foodservice, retail, and hospitality (e.g., Auntie Anne's, Cinnabon, Tory Burch, Delaware North, Lettuce Entertain You), and the firm holds the exclusive mystery shopping partnership with the California Restaurant Association. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, or M&A activity.
