Low stock alerts for restaurants
Here is what the low stock alert flow does for restaurants. Alerts you before an item runs out, with a draft reorder ready to send. It's built for one familiar headache: stock counts and supplier orders are done on paper.
Where restaurants lose time today
Stock counts and supplier orders are done on paper. Nobody at a 40-cover neighbourhood bistro signed up for that part of the job, and the low stock alert flow handles it.
What it looks like in practice
Take a 40-cover neighbourhood bistro as an example. On Tuesday morning three items drop below your threshold in Uber Eats. You get one message listing them with a draft reorder to the supplier. You check the quantities and send it.
How it works for restaurants
For a 40-cover neighbourhood bistro, the flow is short and predictable.
- Stock levels are checked in Uber Eats on a schedule.
- Items under your threshold are flagged.
- You get an alert with the list.
- A draft reorder email to the supplier is prepared.
- You approve and it's sent.
Tools it connects to
For restaurants, I usually connect it to Toast, Google Sheets and Uber Eats. It runs on n8n, Shopify and Gmail behind the scenes.
Questions from restaurants
Does the low stock alert flow work with Toast?
It depends on your Toast plan. Some tools open their data through an API and some keep it locked, so before we start I check what yours allows. If a direct connection isn't possible, I'll say so and suggest a workaround before you pay anything.
Can I change how it works later?
Yes. The low stock alert flow keeps its messages, timings and rules in settings or a simple sheet you can edit. For bigger changes, such as a new step for your guests, message me and I'll quote it first.
What does the low stock alert flow cost to run each month?
Setup for the low stock alert flow starts at $250 while the launch offer is on, for restaurants and everyone else. Tools like OpenAI, Twilio and n8n hosting usually cost $5 to $30 a month, billed to you directly. I'll tell you the exact number before we start.
