Use it when someone asks for something simple, thanks you, or suggests a plan that suits you. It is upbeat and friendly, and it suits cafes, shops and workplaces. Some people add mate, as in too easy, mate.
When not to use it
Avoid it when the job really is hard, or when someone has done you a big favour, because it can sound like the effort was nothing. In formal writing, use "no problem" or "happy to help".
