Ingredient Price Trend Analysis & Buying Recommendations

Automates monitoring of ingredient prices via API, analyzes trends in PostgreSQL, generates smart buying recommendations, and sends alerts via Slack and email to optimize restaurant purchasing.

This n8n workflow provides comprehensive price trend analysis for ingredients used in restaurants and food businesses. It runs daily to fetch the latest prices from external APIs, stores historical data in a PostgreSQL database, and performs advanced trend calculations to identify patterns like rising, falling, or stable prices. Based on these insights, it generates actionable recommendations such as 'buy now', 'wait', or 'stock up', helping businesses time purchases optimally and reduce costs.
