A flexible inventory and costing platform with a free entry tier and open API.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Galley is a culinary resource planning platform for restaurants, caterers, commissaries, contract foodservice providers, and multi-unit operators. It brings recipes, menus, ingredient costs, production planning, inventory, purchasing, nutrition, allergen data, and labeling workflows into one system. The product is especially suited to teams that want a free starting point, live vendor-based costing, and an open API for connecting POS, supplier, and operational software.
Pricing begins with the Free Test Kitchen plan, which includes recipe and menu management, real-time vendor pricing and menu costing, and automated packing lists and production plans. The SMB Accelerator plan is listed at $99 per month with recipes, menus, food costing, and simplified onboarding. Larger operations follow a customized sales process, with pricing scaling by operation and locations. The strongest functional value is the connection between vendor pricing, recipes, menus, purchasing, and inventory: teams can manage receiving, create menu-based purchase orders, transfer inventory between locations, and use EDI supplier connections for orders, invoices, and price updates.
Galley also fits organizations with broader operational systems. Integrations include Square, Snowflake, HubSpot, Nutrislice, DateCodeGenie, NiceLabel, Leanpath, Topanga, Caterease, Total Party Planner, Curate, ChouxBox, MarketPro, Sysco, and US Foods. Its open API extends POS and other software connections, while AI-assisted recipe and invoice data workflows add another layer to data entry and management. Choose Galley if recipe costing, purchasing, inventory control, supplier connectivity, and labeling belong in the same workflow. Teams seeking a narrowly focused inventory tool or a simple standalone web application may prefer a less expansive setup.
