The 6am sick call. Covered before opening.
A stylist is out and the doors open at nine. Dayrun offers the shift to the casuals who can cover it, so nobody starts the day on a phone tree.

The same day, handled.
Without Dayrun
- A sick call at 6am starts a round of phone calls
- You ring casuals who can't do it anyway
- Availability lives in old texts and memory
- Stylists ask about shifts while you're on the floor
With Dayrun
- The shift is offered to the right casuals straight away
- Offers go to casuals who are free and have the skills
- The roster is updated once someone says yes
- Tess answers shift questions on staff WhatsApp

What missed calls cost a salon.
A typical US salon, worked out in the open. Cited figures link to their source, and every assumption says so.
An estimate, not a promise. Salon revenue is the Census 2024 total for US beauty salons divided by the 77,881 salons the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted that year, so it covers salons with employees. The 21% is what consumers told CallRail they do, not measured behaviour. The phone share, the unanswered rate and the 80% are assumptions.
Built to run inside your business.
Your roster stays put
Deputy keeps running the roster. Dayrun works inside it.
Head office sets the rules
What the staff may say and do is decided once. Each salon changes only what it is allowed to.
A person gets the hard ones
Anything unusual goes to the owner with the whole conversation attached.
