Hey everyone!
I’m Riccardo, founder of RAD LAB, a small
automation agency based in southern Italy
(Ischia island). I work with local
restaurants, hotels, and salons, helping them
automate their daily operations with n8n.
I’ve just open-sourced a set of 4
production-ready workflows for restaurant
booking automation. They’re free, documented,
and ready to import.
What’s included
- Booking Create & Confirm — Receives a
booking via webhook, validates data, saves to
Google Sheets, sends WhatsApp confirmation
using a template message - Reminder 24h — Runs every 15 minutes,
finds reservations happening in the next 24
hours, sends a WhatsApp reminder - Inbound Reply Handler — Catches
customer replies on WhatsApp (confirm,
cancel, modify), updates the reservation
status automatically - Error Handler — Centralized error
logging + admin alerts when something breaks
Key features
- All config in a single “Settings” node
(restaurant name, phone ID, sheet ID, etc.) - Italian WhatsApp message templates included
(easy to adapt to any language) - Google Sheets as storage (simple for small
restaurants, documented path to Postgres for
scale) - Clean node naming with prefixes: CFG, IN,
MAP, VAL, DB, WA, LOG, ERR - Full documentation with setup guide, test
payloads, and flow diagrams
Who is this for
- n8n consultants/agencies working with local
businesses - Developers building booking systems for
restaurants or hospitality - Anyone who wants a real-world WhatsApp
automation example

The repo also has issue templates,
contributing guidelines, and a Docker demo
setup. I plan to add hotel, salon, and
medical practice workflows in the coming
weeks.
If you find it useful, a star on GitHub would
really help. And if you have ideas for new
workflows or improvements, open an issue or a
discussion — I’d love to hear from you.
Happy automating!
