Personal care services like haircuts, beauty treatments, massages, and spa services need in-person contact.

Repair services for vehicles, appliances, plumbing, and electrical work require the service provider to be physically present.

Hospitality services like hotels and restaurants provide experiences that cannot be fully replicated online.
