Let’s #beehonest, life in the office can get really busy, and there are always chores to do and errands to run. Even the simple task of grocery shopping takes up so much time these days, with the metro traffic and the hassles of parking or commuting. Spending hours in long lines whether at the store, the streets, or the parking lots take away more time that can be better spent on rest and relaxation or bonding with your family.
This pressing issue is being addressed by honestbee, a concierge service app that frees you from the chore of having to spend time at the stores. The success of the service has brought about an expansion, in order to deliver more convenience to more urban homes. It is now available to more areas in and around Metro Manila, including the Novaliches, Malabon, Valenzuela, Marikina, Antipolo, Cainta, and Malolos and Meycauayan in Bulacan. It has also launched its service in Metro Cebu.
“Our service is all about convenience,” says honestbee Country Manager Crystal Lee-Gonzalez. “We have expanded our reach as we want to enable more busy urbanites more time to enjoy their downtime instead of having to deal with the hassles of going out. As we cover more areas, such as Cebu and Camanava, we are giving more people the time to relax and lounge at home while we do their chores for them.”
Another exciting development is that there are more items to choose from when it comes to food shopping; honestbee has added Wet Market Concierge Services to let you choose and buy the best produce and the freshest seafood from Farmer’s Market in Cubao, the Alabang Wet Market, and the Pasay Wet Market.
Now, you no longer have to brave the crowds in order to enjoy farm-fresh goodness or the seafood catch of the day. And the best part? You only need to checkout once and both your groceries and wet market orders will be delivered to you. You can order from one specialty store to another and check out once.
Apart from being your handy concierge to take away the hassles of shopping, honestbee offers value for money. Items are at the same price in Robinsons Selections and Supermarket branches and the P99 shopper’s fee and a P49 delivery fee are cheaper than what you have to pay for gas and parking.
The app can be downloaded on Google Play or the Apple Store, pin your location, and shop away for your grocery items and even food delivery from honestbee’s partner restaurants, then pay for them using your credit card or cash on delivery.
