Are you interested in making money quickly while creating your own schedule? Do you want to help ensure businesses comply with alcohol and tobacco laws? Becoming a Stinger could be the perfect opportunity for you.

What is a Stinger?

A Sting is a compliance check conducted by a Stinger, who is a gig worker aged 21–29 years old, contracted by Stinger Compliance to visit businesses and evaluate their adherence to laws and regulations.

The goal of a Sting is to assess whether businesses selling age-restricted products, such as alcohol, tobacco, or vape products, are following legal requirements, including verifying IDs to prevent underage sales.

What Does a Stinger Do?

As a Stinger, the individual accepts a Sting located in their local area and agrees to complete the tasks outlined in the assignment during the designated time frame.

This may involve purchasing age-restricted products like alcohol or tobacco, interacting with employees, and evaluating compliance with legal requirements such as ID checks and company policies.

Each Sting is pre-arranged through the Stinger Compliance platform, where Stingers can browse available opportunities, book assignments, and receive instructions for each job.

Upon arriving at the location, the Stinger carries out the tasks required by the Sting. These tasks can include ordering a drink or requesting a product and observing whether the business follows proper procedures, such as verifying IDs or adhering to legal protocols.

Depending on the instructions provided by the client, the Stinger may also assess additional aspects of the business, including the quality of customer service or the cleanliness of the establishment.

After completing the Sting, the Stinger submits a detailed report through the Stinger Compliance app or portal. This report may include information such as whether the business checked their ID, the quality of service, and answers to survey questions specified by the client.

Clients use this feedback to evaluate staff compliance with company policies and to identify areas where improvements may be needed.

Once the Sting is completed and the report submitted, the Stinger receives payment through the Stinger Compliance platform. Payment includes compensation for the task as well as reimbursement for any required purchases made during the Sting.

Stingers can select from multiple available assignments, complete several Stings in one day, and manage their own schedule, making this role a convenient and profitable gig opportunity.

How Many Stings Can a Stinger Do per Day?

Stingers have the flexibility to complete as many Stings as they choose, as long as each assignment is completed within the specified time frame.

This flexibility allows gig workers to manage their schedules efficiently and maximize their earnings.

If locations are nearby, Stingers can complete multiple Stings in a single day, increasing their potential payout. By strategically booking Stings that are close together, Stingers can complete more assignments within the same working hours.

Note: Stingers are prohibited from consuming alcohol during their Stings. They must maintain a neutral and professional approach while performing their duties in order to preserve anonymity and avoid conflicts of interest.

How Much Do Stingers Get Paid?

Stinger Compliance offers three different tiers of Stings designed to provide flexibility for businesses across industries such as bars, restaurants, convenience stores, vape shops, and more.

These tiers—Well, Craft, and Top Shelf—offer varying levels of detail and responsibility, with payouts increasing based on the complexity of the assignment.

Well Tier

The Well tier is the most basic compliance check. It focuses on fundamental requirements such as verifying whether staff members properly check IDs and follow standard procedures.

These Stings are ideal for businesses that need simple compliance checks and typically offer entry-level payouts for Stingers.

Craft Tier

The Craft tier includes a more detailed evaluation. In addition to compliance checks, Stingers may also review customer service quality, product presentation, and store cleanliness.

This tier provides businesses with deeper insights into operations and offers a higher payout to reflect the additional attention required.

Top Shelf Tier

The Top Shelf tier is the most comprehensive compliance check offered by Stinger Compliance.

It includes all checks from the Well and Craft tiers, plus additional customized survey questions about the overall experience, staff behavior, ambiance, and operational details.

Because of the extensive nature of these evaluations, Top Shelf Stings provide the highest payouts.

For all three tiers, a product purchase is required during the Sting, whether alcohol, tobacco, or another age-restricted item. Stinger Compliance reimburses Stingers for these purchases to ensure they are fully compensated.

What Makes an Excellent Stinger?

An excellent Stinger books assignments strategically, completes surveys thoroughly, and maintains professionalism during each compliance check.

Great Stingers are discreet, punctual, respectful, and provide detailed and accurate feedback that helps businesses improve their compliance practices.
