This lends itself to the "good" dancers wanting to build up a clientele. they want to know that their "regulars" will be their when they show up so they can milk them for cash.
Here is a the problem. most clubs don't advertise WHEN a dancer is going to be there. As a matter of fact it's almost unheard of due to the difficulty in keeping track of notoriously unreliable "independent contractors" which the dancers basically are.
ALSO the dancers themselves have no safe and effective way to keep in touch with their customers. Apparently, it's common for them to give out their phone numbers or other contact info which is just insane in my book.
A small number of them create a fake Facebook page to advertise themselves but it is a VERY small percentage.. like under 5%. And they aren't usually tech savvy enough to effectively use it anyway. (and it's also unsafe because they don;t wall it off from their real life enough)
OK, you may see where I am going with all this.. back in a sec to explain more..

Each girl has a profile page on the site. On their page, there can be a notification as to whether they are in or not. When they get to work, they have to "clock in". When they do, their profile page reflects that they are in. Also, customers can chose to be notified either via text or email when their favorite(s) come in so when they clock in, the system automatically sends out the notification.
That should satisfy the need for customer knowing when their girl is there. Also, the profile page could be used as a method of keeping in contact with their clientele.
