Salons, barbers and clinics

Friday, 18:00. The client doesn't show. The chair stays empty.

Appointments are lost when the phone is in a drawer, and the cancelled slot is never offered again. The owner rebuilds next week's rota in the evening instead.

No contract. Your report comes within 24 hours.

The problems in this industry

Three leaks in the diary and the evenings.

No-shows, with no reminder and no deposit.

The client forgets, and the slot is found empty after the appointment time has passed.

Cost, worked example: 4 no-shows a week at €45 is €180 a week, about €9,000 a year.

Adelante: sends reminders, asks for a deposit where you choose, and offers cancelled slots again.

Calls missed while the hands are busy.

Everyone is mid-appointment, the phone rings out, and the caller books somewhere that picked up.

Cost, worked example: €8,000 to €20,000 a year in appointments protected, depending on your volume.

Adelante: answers calls and messages while the team is with clients, and books the slot.

The evenings go on the rota and the reviews.

Rotas rebuilt from a WhatsApp thread, and a one-star review left unanswered for a week.

Cost, worked example: 5 to 8 hours a week of owner time, before any cash is counted.

Adelante: plans rotas from bookings, swaps by message, and drafts a reply to every review.

Worked examples with the assumptions shown. Not client results.

How Adelante resolves it

A no-show becomes a rebooked slot, the same day.

1. Booking madeOnline, by message or by phone.
2. Reminder sentAnd a deposit requested where you choose.
3. No-show detectedThe slot is offered again to the waitlist straight away.
4. Diary filledThe rota updates, and the owner is not called in at 21:00.
A typical busy week

The diary has gaps, and the owner finds them after closing.

A Friday client doesn't show. Two more calls go unanswered while the team is with clients. At closing time the owner rebuilds the next week's rota from a WhatsApp thread.
