60 percent of all households in Stockholm are single households. A large percentage of those are working people. 

There are many things working single people don’t like to do: clean up, do groceries, pick up dry-cleaning, wait for repairmen to show up, wash clothes… My idea then is very simple: provide a service that does all of that for you. I’m not talking about some luxury concierge service – most citizens in Stockholm are middle-class, so this concept has to be built on scale rather than premium pricing. Like 7 Eleven. Easy, fast, casual. 

Beyond the obvious, the Urban Fixer service could also include these services:

Hangover panic: On Saturday or Sunday mornings, you get pizza, drinks and aspirin in a neat little package, all at the touch of an SMS.

Hotel breakfast: On weekends, you get the whole shabang delivered to your door. Fresh croissants, fresh fruit, fresh juice, etc.

Renovator Project Manager: No worries about renovating that kitchen. Everything will be taken care of. On time, on budget.

Downloader: your favorite TV-series will always be downloaded and ready for you.

Negotiator: no more crappy phonecalls to companies about phone contracts, broadband problems or electricity bills. 

Weekend supplier: no more queuing at Systembolaget on Fridays.

Travel butler: airline tickets, hotels, luggage packing…

This is hardly cutting-edge, and perhaps similar services exists in other cities. But the less time we have, the more valuable it would be, so I really think that there's a market for it. I would really love if someone would start this kind of service in Stockholm though, and I know many other would too if the price is right. 

Any entrepreneurs out there?
