For rostering

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.

Before and after

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
The day

A Saturday on the roster

  1. A manager in her kitchen before dawn reading a message on her phone
    6:04 am

    A stylist texts in sick

    Max sees the gap on the roster and offers the shift to the casuals who are free and have the skills. You're still at the kitchen bench.

  2. A young stylist at home in the morning, replying to a message
    6:40 am

    A casual says yes

    Max updates the roster and the salon opens with every chair covered. Nobody rang anyone.

The maths

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.

$352,800Yearly revenue of an average US beauty salon1
50%Booked over the phone(assumption)
30%Calls that go unanswered(assumption)
21%Callers who immediately call another business2
Lost every year$11,100
Won back when Dayrun answers every call$8,800Assumes 8 in 10 of those callers book once someone answers (assumption)

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.
