Weekend calls go to voicemail
Saturday and Sunday inquiries — new clients, reschedules, cancellations — sit in voicemail until Monday. By then the slot is gone.
Lost weekend intake, Monday voicemail backlog
Saturday and Sunday therapy without a front desk
AI weekend coordinator that runs Saturday and Sunday therapy operations end-to-end
Frontdesk runs full weekend operations for therapy practices — Saturday and Sunday intake, confirmation, reschedule, cancellation recovery, and no-show recovery — without a human front desk. Integrates with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, CentralReach, TheraNest, and Fusion Web Clinic.

The Problem
Weekend no-shows aren’t recovered
A Saturday 10am no-show stays unrecovered until Monday — the clinician’s hour is lost forever and the waitlist is cold.
$120–$300 per weekend no-show
Weekend cancellations stay unfilled
When a client cancels a Sunday afternoon session at noon, there’s no front desk to fire waitlist outreach. The slot empties out.
Weekend revenue leakage, lower utilization
Reminder tools don’t cover weekend operations
SimplePractice native reminders, TherapyNotes reminders, Spruce Health, Klara, Weave, and Solutionreach send weekend reminders but can’t recover weekend no-shows, fill weekend cancellations, or book weekend intake.
Weekend stays structurally under-served
How Frontdesk Works
