How to handle no-show customers

Record the booking facts, keep the confirmation as evidence, and give the customer a chance to explain. Then use simple prevention steps to cut future no-shows.

Step by step

  1. 1.Record the booking facts

    Note the date and time of the appointment, the service booked, the location and how the booking was made.

  2. 2.Keep the evidence

    Save the booking confirmation, reminders you sent and any messages. Attach them to a private no-show record.

  3. 3.Let the customer respond

    The customer can see the record for free and reply. Emergencies happen; their side stays on the record.

Ways to prevent no-shows

  • Send a reminder a day before and on the day.
  • Make cancelling or rescheduling easy.
  • Share a clear cancellation policy when people book.
  • Ask for a confirmation reply for longer appointments.

Keep no-show records private and fair. Free during early access.
