Automatically fill empty slots when appointments cancel. Your waiting list clients get instant last-minute offers - keeping your chair full and your revenue protected.
When a client cancels, LightDay instantly sends last-minute fill notifications to waiting clients who match that service duration. They receive an SMS and email with a direct booking link - first to claim gets the appointment. No more empty chairs, no more lost revenue.

Three Ways to Join
Staff can add clients at the desk, from profiles, or clients self-register online

How It Works

Your diary stays full
