Recover Revenue from No-Shows Automatically
SchedulingKit's Automated No-Show Recovery transforms missed appointments from lost revenue into recovered bookings. When a client fails to attend their appointment, the system triggers a two-pronged response: first, it reaches out to the no-show client via SMS and email with a friendly reschedule link (not a punitive message). Second, it notifies waitlisted clients that a slot has opened, filling the gap with the first respondent. The combined effect recovers 30-50% of no-show revenue that would otherwise be permanently lost. For a business with 5 no-shows per week at $100/appointment, that's $15K-$25K in annually recovered revenue. The system also tracks repeat no-show clients so you can implement stricter policies (deposits, pre-payment) for those individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a no-show detected?
If a client doesn't check in (for in-person) or join (for virtual) within a configurable window after the appointment start time, it's marked as a no-show.
Is the no-show message punitive?
No. The default tone is friendly and understanding: 'We missed you! Here's a link to rebook at a time that works.' You can customize the message.
Can I charge a no-show fee?
Yes. If you collect a card on file or deposit at booking, you can configure automatic no-show fees based on your cancellation policy.
