Don’t want to do your groceries? Hire an online butler

Mariam Nihal A concept born in the US, Alfred is a weekly subscription service that handles your grocery shopping, laundry and even cleans your home so you can do other things. An interesting concept that really is about outsourcing a reliable and professional set of people to finish off your chores, starts at $32 per week. Marcela Sapone and Jessica Beck- the two young women behind Hello Alfred believe leisure time should not be a luxury. Alfred is currently available in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Each new employee referred to as ‘Alfred’ receives extensive in-office and in-the-field hospitality training. The service’s app available for iOS and Web helps make it easy for you to add items to your to-do or to-buy list.  “I’ve used Alfred for a year. It’s freed up my weekends. Rather than spending Saturday running errands, I go to brunch with friends, sleep in, or go to the gym,” James M, a user said. Could it be something that Saudis will incorporate into their daily lives? Just wait and watch.
