About

Side Qwest is a mobile marketplace where verified neighbours run errands for each other at an agreed fee: grocery and market runs, standing in queues at banks and embassies, document drop-offs, and anything else a neighbour can responsibly do. A Requester posts a task with a fee and a budget. A Runner accepts — matched automatically to the best-rated person nearby, or selected from sealed bids showing full profiles, ratings, and distance. The errand is tracked live on a map from acceptance to doorstep, and money is released only when the Requester's six-digit handover PIN confirms it has arrived. Every marketplace before now asked users to trust a stranger with one thing at a time — a ride, a meal, a booking. An errand asks them to trust a stranger with everything at once: their money, their shopping, their documents, their family's front door. That compounding trust problem is why the errand economy — the largest, most obvious opportunity in local commerce — remains unclaimed. Not for lack of demand. For lack of infrastructure.
