I use an overpriced laundry service, and have food delivered though an app 3+ times a week. Not sure if I would want a service like this unless it was all contracted through the same company. Ordering these services is already pretty convenient. Why pay for homejoy and washio to be booked for me?

When I lived overseas I had a maid that would come and do my laundry in my apartment. She knew that I liked to have milk/OJ/coffee in the fridge at all times. She also did light cleaning. I would pay for something like this in a heartbeat.

Someone I trusted, knew their name, but didn't have to pay them directly. Kept shit shit order so I don't have to wear a wrinkled shirt to the office and eat breakfast at Starbucks...

I would probably pay somewhere around $100+ a week. They wouldn't have to come every day. Just stop in every once and a while when I was at work. Through a load of laundry in. Put some eggs in the fridge. Make the bed then leave.
