No-shows cost it money, so the reminders matter. The obvious way to send them is a cron job that wakes up every few minutes and searches the bookings for appointments about a day away. That works until two runs overlap and a client gets two texts, or the server is down at the wrong moment and an hour of reminders never goes out, or a booking moves and the reminder still names the old time.</p>
