Most owners don't track this, but it's worth ten minutes to get right, whatever you do

- Open your booking software's reports section.
- Pull the last 3 full months. One month swings too much to trust.
- Count appointments marked no-show. If your system only tracks
cancelled, count late cancels you couldn't refill separately. They're a
different problem with a different fix.
- Divide by total appointments booked in the same window, times 100.
If your system doesn't distinguish no-shows from cancellations at all, that's a finding
on its own and worth knowing.
