Task Outsource technology in California

SAN FRANCISCO, US: TaskRabbit, the company that helps people live smarter by outsourcing their errands and tasks, is hopping into California. The company today announced its service is available in San Francisco. TaskRabbit launched more than a year ago in Boston and has been growing rapidly in Massachusetts ever since.

The service links San Franciscans with an on-demand network of affordable, back-ground checked "Runners" to whom they can outsource any kind of task. Typical tasks include dropping off Goodwill donations, providing transportation to and from the airport, assembling furniture, doing pharmacy and dry cleaning runs, standing in line for tickets, cleaning out attics, and caring for pets.

"San Francisco residents are smart, active, and online. Most of all, they're busy," says TaskRabbit founder, Leah Busque. "We believe they'll embrace a simple option delegating the menial or time-consuming parts of their lives. TaskRabbit, in minutes, frees them up to enjoy what's truly important -- whether that be spending time with family, pursuing a hobby or just relaxing."

"Every day TaskRabbit is helping people check things off their to-do lists from ordinary tasks that never get done to truly amazing tasks," says Anne Moellering, TaskRabbit's Chief Marketing Officer. "We've assisted people with fundraising, helped blind people navigate unfamiliar parts of the city, written love letters for Romeos with writer’s block and even delivered a Pug dog from New York to Boston."
