The sum
How it’s worked out.
Nothing else is added. Change any number and the answer follows.
- Covers lost a week
- covers booked a week × your no-show rate
- A week
- covers lost × your spend per head
- A year
- a week × 52
- A month
- a year ÷ 12
It counts takings — what those guests would have spent — not profit, and nothing is added for staff, food or a table you could have given someone else.
With ResoFlow
What cuts no-shows.
Each one is a setting you switch on — here’s which plan carries it.
Deposits and no-show protection- Every plan
A reminder before every booking
Guests with an email address get a reminder before their booking, with a link to change or cancel it — so a table comes back instead of standing empty.
- From Plus
Reminders by text, when you choose
Send the reminder by text too, and pick when it goes.
- From Plus
A deposit, or a card kept on file
Take a deposit when they book, or keep their card on file and charge the no-show fee you set. The money goes to your own Stripe account, and ResoFlow takes £0 of it.
- From Pro
A follow-up after a no-show
An email to a guest who didn’t come, sent for you.
- From Complete
A waitlist for the full nights
Guests join the waitlist from your booking page, and you let them know when a table frees.
