takes care
Handles the matter
Takes care has two main branches of meaning.
When you take care of someone or something, you look after their needs or wellbeing: She takes care of her elderly mother.
This sense extends to handling tasks or problems: I'll take care of the bill.
The phrase can also carry a darker implication of eliminating a threat or rival, especially in crime contexts.
As a farewell, take care is a common way to wish someone well.
