How the numbers work

Empty slots per month = appointments per week × 4.33 × no-show rate. Lost revenue multiplies that by your average ticket. The recoverable figure is the share of those slots a deposit plus two-step reminders usually brings back — the conservative default is half, which is what most shops see in the first month after turning deposits on.

If the annual number is uncomfortable, that is the point. Most owners guess "a few hundred a year" and the calendar says otherwise.
