Qu'est-ce que No-Show Rate?
The percentage of booked appointments where the client fails to arrive without canceling in advance, directly impacting revenue and scheduling efficiency.
No-show rate is calculated by dividing the number of missed appointments (where clients neither showed up nor canceled) by the total number of booked appointments over a given period. For example, if a salon has 100 appointments in a month and 8 clients fail to show, the no-show rate is 8%.
No-shows are one of the most costly problems for appointment-based businesses. A dentist with a 10% no-show rate across a 30-appointment weekly schedule loses three revenue-generating slots per week, time that could have been offered to other patients. Over a year, this can amount to tens of thousands of dollars in lost income.
Several strategies effectively reduce no-show rates. Automated reminders sent 24-48 hours before an appointment via email, SMS, or WhatsApp are the most impactful, reducing no-shows by 30-50% according to industry studies. Requiring a deposit or full prepayment at the time of booking creates a financial commitment that discourages casual no-shows. Easy online rescheduling options give clients an alternative to simply not showing up.
Addagio addresses no-shows with built-in automated reminders through multiple channels, optional deposit collection through Stripe, and a self-service rescheduling flow. Booking analytics on the dashboard track no-show rates over time so businesses can measure improvement.
Monitoring and actively managing no-show rates should be a priority for every service business, as even small reductions translate directly into increased revenue.
