The errands that eat your evening

Reordering supplies, looking things up, remembering what you forgot. If a person could do it on a website, you can text it to Friday.

Friday, 5:40 pm

We're almost out of the 7N developer. Reorder what we got last month.

Friday

Same order as August: 6 bottles of 20 vol and 4 of 30 vol, $142.80 plus shipping. It arrives Wednesday. Place it?

Yes

Friday

Ordered. I'll tell you when it ships.

Also remind me to renew the business license

Friday

It's due March 31. I'll remind you on March 1 and again on the 20th.

Running a small business is a thousand small errands, and they all happen after you have already worked a full day.

If a person could do it, Friday can

Friday can use a web browser the way a person does. She can log in to your supplier's site, find last month's order and place it again. She can look up a form on the city website. She can check what three other shops nearby charge for the same service.

Some things she can do for you:

She remembers so you don't have to

Tell Friday once and it's handled. Mrs. Lee only takes the 9:00. The walk-in cooler gets serviced every April. Your landlord wants the check on the 1st. Friday keeps a running to-do list for your business and reminds you before anything slips.

Always your call

Anything that spends money or can't be undone waits for your yes. You'll see exactly what she's about to do before she does it.
