You've Accepted a Task—Now What?
Accepting a task is a commitment to complete the work described in the original task posting. Once you've accepted a task, Favor On-Demand guides you through the remaining steps to help ensure a smooth experience for both you and the Requester.
Good communication and clear expectations are the foundation of every successful task.
6 Steps to a Successful Task
Step 1 — Review the Task Details
Before heading to the task location, take a few moments to review the task again. Make sure you understand the scope of work, the posted budget, the task location, any photos or videos provided, and special instructions from the Requester. If anything is unclear, communicate with the Requester before beginning the task.
Step 2 — Communicate with the Requester
Use the in-app messaging system to discuss any remaining details. You may want to confirm your estimated arrival time, parking or gate access, whether materials are provided, whether tools are required, and any questions about the task. Clear communication helps prevent misunderstandings before work begins.
Step 3 — Arrive and Confirm the Scope
When you arrive, take a few moments to review the task with the Requester. Before beginning work, make sure you both agree on the work to be completed, the posted budget, materials and tools, the expected outcome, and any special instructions. If the task no longer matches the original posting or you're uncomfortable with the requested work, discuss your concerns with the Requester before starting.
Step 4 — Confirm & Begin Task
Before beginning work, you'll be asked to tap Confirm & Begin Task in the app. By selecting this option, you're confirming that you understand the scope of work, you agree to complete the original task for the posted budget, you have discussed any important details with the Requester, and you're ready to begin the task. This confirmation helps ensure both you and the Requester start with the same expectations.
Step 5 — Complete the Task
Once work has begun: complete the agreed-upon work professionally, communicate if questions arise, respect the Requester's home and property, and leave the work area clean whenever appropriate. If the Requester asks for additional work outside the original scope, explain that any new work should be posted as a separate task after the current task has been completed.
Step 6 — Mark the Task as Complete
After finishing the agreed-upon work, mark the task as complete through the Favor On-Demand app. The Requester will then have the opportunity to confirm completion. Once confirmed, your payment will begin processing according to our payment process.
