This crowdsourced butler service brings together a variety of helpers to ensure every task you need done gets finished. Alfred is an on demand option that calls on a variety of other services to ensure all your chores are completed. This includes laundry, groceries, pharmacy runs, donations, packages, home and dry cleaning among others.
For a weekly fee the butler service handles all scheduling and multitasking, so you don't need to worry about pick-ups or drop-offs. Alfred even learns your routine so you don't have to repeat yourself, whether you use it on a regular basis or an off day. The "human powered operating system" (no doubt inspired by the Dark Knight) manages all the services in one place and gives you peace of mind.
