The customer booking flow
Pick the service, the area and the date, and see providers who are genuinely free — not a directory of everyone. Instant booking for standardised jobs with fixed pricing, a quote request for jobs that need a look first, like a leak or a repaint. Address with landmark notes, access instructions for gated subdivisions, and a price shown before confirmation including any transport surcharge.
The provider app
Providers set their service areas, working hours and blocked dates, then accept or decline jobs inside a countdown. On the day: navigation to the address, a start-job check-in, a task checklist, before-and-after photos, add-on charges agreed in-app, and a completion step the customer signs off. Earnings show the platform fee already deducted and the exact payout date.
Verification and trust
Providers submit a valid government ID, a selfie matched against it, an NBI or police clearance where the service enters a home, and any trade certificate the category requires. Documents carry expiry dates and prompt re-submission. Ratings are tied to completed jobs only, so nobody buys a five-star profile, and a suspended provider loses their upcoming bookings the moment you suspend them.
Dispatch, reassignment and no-shows
The engine assigns by area, rating, availability and job history. Cancellations inside your cut-off trigger automatic reoffer to the next-best provider, with the customer told once and only once. No-shows are logged against the provider, count towards suspension thresholds, and compensate the customer according to your policy rather than a case-by-case argument.
Escrow, cash jobs and payouts
Prepaid jobs are held until completion is confirmed, then released minus your fee — that hold is the whole reason a customer trusts a stranger with a downpayment. Cash jobs still happen, so the app records collection and books the commission against the provider's ledger, deducted from their next payout. Payouts run to GCash or bank on your schedule with a full ledger per provider.
How the platform earns: commission, leads or subscription
A commission of 15-30% from the provider is the standard model and the only one that works when you hold payment. A booking fee from the customer works for high-value jobs but suppresses casual bookings. Lead fees suit categories that quote before working, like construction or events. Provider subscriptions suit high-frequency, low-ticket work. We build the model you pick and let you change it later.
Keeping the transaction on the platform
Every service marketplace leaks: the customer takes the cleaner's number and books directly next month. You reduce it, you never eliminate it. Contact details are masked until a job is confirmed, in-app chat replaces number swapping, repeat-booking discounts and provider bonuses make staying worth more than leaving, and off-platform solicitation is a reportable, suspendable offence with the chat log as evidence.
