Galley Culinary Resource Planning

Galley Solutions, Inc. offers culinary resource planning, a food ERP built around recipe data. A funding announcement reposted on its site states the company was started in 2017 by Ian Christopher and Benji Koltai and raised a USD 14.2 million Series A led by Astanor Ventures. It addresses kitchens whose recipes, purchasing and inventory sit in disconnected spreadsheets.

The platform keeps recipe data clean and ties purchasing and inventory to real-time vendor items so recipe margins can be calculated accurately. Capabilities include real-time recipe costing, nutrition data, version control, menu scaling across events or locations, smart inventory and food production planning. The website claims 6,000+ kitchens and integration with broader tech stacks via API.

• Version control: keeps the latest recipe versions current.
• Menu scaling: standardizes and scales menus across events or locations.
• Production planning: food production planning from recipe data.
• API integration: connects with broader tech stacks.

A Vietnamese industrial catering company can standardize recipes and scale menus across several factory canteens. A hotel F&B team can cost banquet menus and see ingredient needs per event.

Contract dining, catering and multi-unit kitchens are moving recipe data from spreadsheets into central systems to manage costs and compliance. Vietnamese central kitchens, hotel F&B and industrial catering face similar recipe standardization and costing needs.
