Galley Solutions
Culinary Resource Planning: one live food-data core for recipes, costing, menus, and purchasing.
About
Galley Solutions built the Culinary Resource Planning (CRP) category: one operating system that connects recipes, live food costs, menus, inventory, production, and purchasing on a single shared data core. A change to one ingredient flows through every recipe cost, nutrition label, menu margin, and purchase order that depends on it. The platform targets high-volume foodservice: onsite and contract operations (corporate dining, campus, healthcare) and multi-unit restaurant groups. Documented customers include HHS (managing a 2,000+ recipe bank), Purple Carrot, Open Arms of Minnesota, and CalFire training centers.
Galley integrates with distributors via EDI, plus POS, labeling, and accounting tools, and offers an open API with MCP support so AI agents can work against the food data. For smaller operators, an SMB plan starts at $99/month with recipes, menus, and costing; enterprise pricing is quoted. Most teams are live in weeks with assisted recipe imports. The platform's breadth and the CRP framing are vendor positioning; what is verifiable is a real product with published integrations, an open API, and named customer case studies.
