I grew up in Turkey with the privilege of having a driver, a cook, and a maid. When I moved to New York to pursue a master's degree, Uber became my driver, and DoorDash became my cook. However, I quickly realized that on-demand cleaning services couldn’t replicate the benefits of having a daily maid.

​

I hate seeing my bed unmade right before going to sleep.

I hate finding an empty coffee cup on the table in the morning.

And worst of all, I hate coming home to a sink full of dishes after a long workday.

​

Even though tidying up would only take me 20 minutes a day, I still don’t do it. I admit to being a lazy hedonist, and unfortunately, I can’t afford a live-in maid in the USA.

​

But it’s 2024; why can’t I get a daily cleaning service for just an hour each day? In my grandma’s time, it wouldn’t have been feasible for a cleaner to commute an hour for twenty minutes of work. But today, we can pool the demand from neighbors in the same building or next door and basically time-share a full-time housekeeper.

​

So here I am, founded Bonjuur with the mission of improving the quality of daily life by making traditionally lavish services accessible. Because, in reality, they aren’t any more "lavish" than paying a random stranger to give you a lift.

Join the revolution, say Bonjuur!
