01
No-shows / week = appointments × no-show rate.
02
Lost revenue = no-shows × average job value.
03
Idle-crew cost = no-shows × wasted hours × loaded hourly cost.
04
Annual = (lost + idle) × 52 weeks. Doesn't include the cascade cost of late re-routing other jobs.

Common questions.

How does RingDesk help with no-shows?

Day-before confirmation calls, two-hour pre-arrival SMS, and a tap-to-reschedule link in every booking. Customers who confirm twice no-show 60% less.

My no-show rate is way under 8% — am I okay?

If you're tracking honestly, yes — you're top quartile. Most shops underreport because they record 'cancellation' for what's really a no-show on the day.
