How Do I Find and Accept Tasks?

5 min readFor Helpers

Finding the Right Task Is Easy

Once you've completed your Helper profile, you're ready to start browsing available tasks. Favor On-Demand allows you to view tasks posted by nearby Requesters so you can choose the opportunities that best match your skills, experience, and availability.

You're always in control of which tasks you decide to accept.

5 Steps to Find and Accept Tasks

1

Step 1Browse Available Tasks

Open the Favor On-Demand app to browse tasks in your area. Each task includes helpful information, such as task title, detailed description, budget, location, photos or videos (when provided), and special instructions. Take a few moments to review the details before deciding whether the task is right for you.

Step 2Review the Task Carefully

Before accepting any task, make sure you understand what work needs to be completed, where the task is located, the posted budget, whether tools or materials are required, and any special instructions from the Requester. If something isn't clear, you'll have the opportunity to communicate with the Requester after accepting the task and before work begins. Only accept tasks that you're confident you can complete safely and successfully.

Step 3Accept the Task

When you're ready, tap Accept Task. By accepting a task, you're agreeing to complete the work described in the original task, perform the work for the posted budget, communicate professionally with the Requester, arrive promptly or at the agreed-upon time, and follow Favor On-Demand's Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Accepting a task is a commitment to complete the agreed-upon work.

Step 4Confirm the Details

After accepting the task, you and the Requester can communicate through the in-app messaging system. Before beginning work, confirm the scope of work, the task location, any materials or tools, parking or access instructions, the expected arrival time, and any additional details needed to complete the task successfully. Good communication helps create a better experience for everyone.

Step 5Begin the Task

Once everything has been confirmed, travel to the task location and begin the work. Because Favor On-Demand is designed for on-demand services, Helpers should be prepared to begin the task promptly or arrive at the agreed-upon time. Until your current task is completed, you may not accept another task. This helps ensure every Requester receives your full attention and commitment.

Tips for Choosing the Right Tasks

Successful Helpers don't accept every task—they accept the right tasks. Before accepting, ask yourself:

Do I understand the work being requested?
Do I have the necessary skills?
Can I complete the task safely?
Do I have the required tools or equipment?
Can I arrive promptly?
Am I comfortable completing this task for the posted budget?

If the answer to any of these questions is "no," it's usually best to wait for another opportunity.
