A "coming X days" roster would be a pain, but listing who is currently available is quite easy as they are in house right now.

Create profiles for girls. Have girls "login" when they come to the shop. You now know who is available. Stipulate in their agreement that if they are working they will be logged in so the site is updated and stays fresh. Simple stuff. This could then be automated to give info like new girls, girls who have worked this week and some sort of "current roster" using girls that have been online in the past X days/weeks.

The only ongoing effort would be creating profiles which should be minimal.

While punters like the idea of rosters I imagine shops are not so keen. A similar concept as cracker "privates" using fake pictures applies. They use fake pictures to get guys in the door and quite a few stay. If every guy walked when they opened the door they would either stop doing it or drop prices. In a shop environment they better serve their, and their girls interests by being vague about availability and getting guys in the door, the majority of whom will stay. In comparison to checking a website calling the shop is much more involved and you need to have an existing relationship with the shop in order to ask if girlA is available. If you have a number of super popular girls who are in high demand and a batch of less popular girls then the more popular girls get potential customers in the door who then "settle" for or try someone else if the girl they are after is not available, the same way fake photos work.

This is shown by the 5 star poster in this thread stressing the importance of coming down to check out what is available. There is nothing wrong with this behavior because overall it is better for them and their girls.

What are the downsides of not having a roster? Perhaps some well informed, picky guys don't turn up? Who cares.

On top of this escorts in general seem unreliable, if shops have rosters and they are not spot on there will be complaints. Would you put your shops reputation on the line for these girls? "I booked girlA two days ago because the roster said she was going to be here!" Well bad luck she decided to go shopping?

Having said all that the five star site is horrible and the shop would be better served with a single page location/contact/services/prices type site over the abortion they currently have. Taking their details and slapping it on a theme takes a whole 20 minutes and you have something that looks professional? The main stumbling block would potentially be a logo..?

Given the amount of money in the industry it is baffling to have such a shoddy looking site.
