This is a no-show sheet, the piece of meeting room scheduling that decides whether the office needs another room or a rule. Bookings times the no-show rate is the no-shows; times average length is the room hours lost; no-shows times the length less the release minutes is the hours an auto-release rule gives back; and the recovered share is the length less the release minutes over the length. Every figure is yours, including the release rule; the sheet publishes no rule. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan applies the rule and emails the organiser.
No-shows and the hours they lose
20% of 90 bookings is 18 no-shows a week, 27 room hours at an hour and a half, on the worked example. The rate is yours from check-ins; the sheet works what it costs in rooms.
What auto-release recovers
Releasing an unclaimed room ten minutes after its start gives back 24 of the 27 hours, 89%. The rule is the office's: a longer grace period recovers less and annoys fewer organisers, and the sheet shows what any rule recovers.
The rule, not the room
24 recovered hours a week is more than half a room's bookable time. The sheet is where the office decides whether the next answer to full rooms is a rule; the paid plan applies the rule and records every release.
Meeting room scheduling: common questions
How do I reduce meeting room no-shows? Record check-ins, release unclaimed rooms by a rule, and remind organisers. The free sheet on this site works what any release rule recovers from your own no-show rate; Huddlevo Pro applies the rule and emails the organiser.
How many room hours do no-shows cost? Bookings times the no-show rate times the average length: 27 hours a week on the worked example. The sheet publishes no benchmark rate; enter your own.
What release rule should I set? Your own; the worked example's ten minutes is arithmetic, not guidance. The sheet shows the hours and the share any rule recovers, so the choice is a number.
