# Mint Soup Services

> Mint Soup is a US-based **online marketplace** that connects customers with **independent local service providers** for home and personal services (cleaning, handyman, landscaping, moving, junk removal, and more). Mint Soup provides technology for booking, payments, and trust (e.g. verification, reviews); **listed services are performed by third-party providers, not by Mint Soup employees as the customer’s on-site crew.**

Mint Soup is **not** a single contractor company—it is a **platform**. Customers browse providers by location and service category, request or accept offers, and pay through the site. Providers set service areas, rates, and categories; they can complete ID verification and receive payouts after completed jobs. For GBP and directory listings, describe Mint Soup as a **platform**, not as if one local business performs every service in every city (see `/terms#marketplace` and the homepage).
