Reducing no-shows with reminders and deposits in Phorest
No-shows quietly drain a salon or spa, and [Phorest](https://saaskart.co/software/phorest) gives you tools to cut them. Turn on automated SMS and email reminders with client marketing and reputation tools, and consider a deposit or card-on-file policy for new clients and pricey services. Phorest lets you set clear cancellation windows and, where available, charge late-cancel or no-show fees automatically. Communicate your policy at booking so it feels fair, not punitive. Track your no-show rate before and after to see the impact. Even a few recovered appointments a week adds up over a year. Using Phorest to enforce a consistent, automated policy protects your most valuable asset, chair and room time, without your team having to chase clients manually.
