The worker I booked never showed up
Your options, best first
#1 Instant price check and quote request
What it costs here
Price check: UNKNOWN. no live listing prices yet in this category, so we do not guess; send the generated request below to get real quotes.
#2 Book a pro
Business-posted gigs (independent pros bid their own rate)
The marketplace keeps the booking record and can review repeat no-shows by independent workers.
Prices are set by each independent pro and shown before you pay.
#3 Do it yourself
Respond and document
- Call or message the worker using the number on the booking.
- Check the app for their location or arrival status.
- Mark the no-show in the app if you cannot reach them.
- Post the shift again for a replacement.
- Report the incident so the booking record is clear.
Safety: Do not ask others on site to do tasks that need training or equipment.
Stop and call a pro if: You still have no cover within 90 minutes of start; arrange alternate coverage.
