Online help and cooking services earn tens of millions per month

The demand for online domestic help and cooking services is surging in Vietnam, transforming the household labor market as busy urban dwellers seek convenient solutions.

Platforms like bTaskee are experiencing significant growth, with a network of approximately 15,000 "Taskers" serving around 3 million customers. The service for in-home cooking has seen a nearly 30% increase in bookings over the past year, indicating a shift from seasonal demand to a regular part of urban living.

For many professionals, like office worker N.H. Yến, outsourcing household chores is a necessity. "Work is busy, and the remaining time is only enough for daily life and social relationships; housework has become a worry, not an essential task," she explained. Yến pays around 180,000 VND for a three-hour cleaning session for her two-bedroom apartment, a price she finds acceptable for maintaining a tidy home.

IT employee Hoàng Quân highlights the benefits of cooking services, noting that it has freed up valuable time for his family. "Using technology to buy back rest time for my wife is the most profitable investment for my family," he said, having booked cooking and cleaning services three times a week.

Hourly rates for cleaning services typically range from 80,000 to 120,000 VND, depending on the location and specific tasks. Cooking services are similarly priced, between 80,000 and 110,000 VND per hour, with a minimum booking of two hours. Top-performing Taskers can earn up to 50 million VND per month during peak seasons, with opportunities for higher earnings through performance-based promotions.
