Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

No-Show Revenue Loss

Appointment-based businesses lose revenue and capacity when clients no-show or cancel late without penalty.

In their words

before having credit cards attached to appointments, we'd have about nine no-shows in a week

I don't feel like I can rely on Lyft to get me to work on time, which is a huge problem when I'm responsible for opening my workplace.

r/Lyft on Reddit

our rebooking rate is trash because nobody has time to call clients to schedule their next tox appointment at the 12 week mark

r/VirtualCoworker on Reddit

How are you all actually handling no-shows? Losing class spots every week

Too many people don’t show up, forgot what they ordered and then refuse the food, or change their minds.

Why those fall short

  • Reservations do not hold a truck; system cancels when none available
  • self-check-in lets no-shows stay in system; no-shows not caught in timely manner
  • no computerized reservation system, paper records discarded nightly
  • policy not in confirmation email, no automated reminders or paper trail
  • no automatic tracking of reschedules, late payments or client history
