Retail Ops Pack
9 workflows
Expiry & price audit
Safe-stock math
WhatsApp + Telegram out
Zero community nodes
Three exclusive workflows for grocery, minimarket and restaurant operations — plus six more that are free on this site anyway.
Built around the two problems every store has every single day: expired stock sitting
on the shelf, and shelf prices that do not match the till.
Everything here runs on standard n8n nodes only — no community packages to install, nothing
that breaks on the next n8n update. Every workflow uses a single CURRENCY
constant, so switching from KD to $, GBP or AED is one line.
The nine workflows — 3 exclusive, 6 also free
01 — HEADLINE
EXCLUSIVE
Expiry Watch (FIFO aware)
Groups everything by SKU, sorts each SKU's batches oldest-first, then names the exact batch to pull — and explicitly says how much fresh stock to leave alone. This is what stops staff discounting the wrong batch when the same item has two expiry dates.
02 — HEADLINE
ALSO FREE
Reorder Alert (proper safe stock)
Reorder point = (average daily demand × lead time) + safety stock, where safety stock = z × demand std-dev × √lead time at a 95% service level. Grouped into one draft purchase order per supplier. Items with no sales history fall back to a minimum and get flagged unverified instead of silently guessing.
09 — HEADLINE
ALSO FREE
Price Tag Audit
Staff scan a shelf, the workflow compares it to the POS, prints a corrected ZPL label and alerts the manager. Shelf price ≠ till price is a refund, an argument at the counter, and a consumer-protection complaint.
03
ALSO FREE
Dead Stock Report
Capital frozen per SKU, weekly, with a clear / discontinue / bundle call instead of a number nobody acts on.
04
ALSO FREE
Daily Ops Digest
One nightly message to the owner: sales vs target, cash vs card, footfall, average basket.
05
ALSO FREE
Supplier Invoice Match
Every invoice email: AI extracts the lines, three-way matches them against the purchase order, and holds payment when they drift. Invoice over-billing is the quietest leak in the business.
06
ALSO FREE
Shift Roster Reminders
Each staff member gets their own shift on WhatsApp the night before. Kills the morning phone-call round when someone does not show.
07
EXCLUSIVE
Multi-Channel Order Board
Talabat, Deliveroo, Instagram DMs and WhatsApp into one normalised, deduplicated board, with a ping at the counter.
08
EXCLUSIVE
Till Reconciliation
Close-out variance against the POS, escalated the same day instead of discovered at month-end.
What you get
9 × .json files, ready to import into n8n (cloud or self-hosted), plus a
START-HERE guide listing the credentials each workflow needs. Each workflow carries its
documentation on the canvas — the yellow notes explain what to edit and why.
Requirements
n8n, cloud or self-hosted. Then whatever the individual workflows need: Google Sheets,
WhatsApp Business, Telegram, Gmail, a POS export, or an OpenAI key for the two AI workflows.
The canvas note on each workflow tells you exactly which.
Honest limits
These are templates, not a managed service. You import them and connect your own accounts.
The reorder maths assumes you can export sales history; if you cannot, that workflow cannot
do its job and will tell you so rather than invent numbers.
