The Booking Percentage Report compares your total booked hours against the total availability for all or some of your employees. In the report, you will see how efficiently your business ran for the selected time frame. If you see that you often have more booked time than available, you could consider opening more hours or hiring additional staff. Alternatively, if you have much more availability than our booked time, you may want to consider marketing your business to fill those gaps.

Am I correct in thinking this percentage isn't useful for looking at past years, if your schedules have changed since then? Since the computer will think that a given time is full of empty unbooked time, when really you've just changed the stylist's booking hours since them?
For instance, it says we have 749 unbooked hours during April 2020, when we were closed for the pandemic, and every open time available then was blocked with personal time blocks. When I go back and check, there is lots of empty time - because of stylists whose hours have still changed.
Brittany, I'm looking into this to get an answer for you.
Here's what I got from some of our support team members: "The percentages will always calculate based on employees' current availability. If there are schedule changes, this could alter the calculated percentages. This report is better suited to monitor recent trends in bookings rather than generate a long-term report tracking data across several years."
Does this booking percentage include blocked time? For instance if my employee blocked off a sick day would it show it as booked because there is something on her schedule?
Hi Lydia,
Personal tasks are not shown as Time Booked. Personal tasks will only affect Time Available. For example, if an employee has 47.5 hours available per week, and you block off a 7.5-hour personal task during that week, the report will update and show Time Available is 40 hours.
Thanks,
Jamie
Yes this report is fairly useless considering it reports false data. Why include the historical booked % if vagaro engineers know it is not accurate. Can this really not be fixed considering it is a report on the dasboard?
Hi, Patrick. I'm sorry that this report is not working correctly. I have opened a support ticket for you to have an agent contact you and help troubleshoot the report with you.
It would be helpful if it would have an option to make blocked time appear as unbooked time. For instance I have open unbooked time today and so I am going to go into the salon a couple hours later. On my old software I would choose a block (that I set up) that is for coming in later or leaving earlier and I would see that as unbooked time. Seems pretty common with other software programs. Could you see if this feature is possible?
Hi Gwen,
In Vagaro’s Booking Percentage Report, blocked time cannot be treated as unbooked time because the report compares booked hours against total available booking hours as defined by your business’s working schedule. Personal tasks or blocked slots prevent bookings, but they do not reduce the total available time used in the report’s calculation — they simply stop customers from booking during those periods. That means the report will still count that time as available, even if it’s blocked on the calendar, and there is currently no option to reclassify blocked time as unbooked in the report settings.
We recommend changing your working hours from the calendar to block off one-time changes: https://support.vagaro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010304773-Add-and-Update-Working-Hours#change-hours-from-the-calendar
Thanks, Jamie
