A no-show blocks inventory that is often difficult to resell after service begins. This estimate combines booking volume, party size, spend and observed no-show rate. It measures revenue at risk, not guaranteed lost profit.
Do not present recovered revenue as guaranteed profit. A table may be refilled by a walk-in, and food, labour, payment and messaging costs still apply.
