The literal meaning is:
“À demain” is the common way to express “See you tomorrow” in French.
When you know for sure that you will see the person tomorrow, you can include “À demain” when you say goodbye. You can also use “On se voit demain” (We see each other tomorrow) which is a bit more informal.
But if instead of seeing the person tomorrow, you will see him/her another day, you should adapt how you say goodbye.
