How Food Businesses are Leveraging Galley’s Open API

‍

We’re already seeing examples of how food businesses are using APIs to streamline, automate, and enable faster scaling with Galley’s API.

‍

We use GraphQL, the most advanced and granular API technology in existence, to give Galley customers complete access to all their food data: recipes, costs, procedures, nutritionals—everything.

‍

Here are some of the innovative ways our customers are using our Open API.

Order-Ahead Apps (customer facing) — Customers of one company using Galley can always access up-to-date ingredients, nutritionals, and pictures for recipes from the brand’s online ordering platform. Rather than having to update each item manually when recipes change, the API pushes those updates automatically to the platform.
Kitchen Display Screens (kitchen facing) — One customer is using the Galley API to send recipe data, steps, and procedures directly to the kitchen when it’s time for production. Kitchen teams never have to worry about creating food from outdated recipes or procedures, since it arrives automatically from the menu planning team.
Backend Reporting and Analysis (back office) — Another scaling food business needed a singular place for their data science team to crunch the numbers, discover insights, and back up their recommendations. They’re using the Galley API to send food cost and menu data to a reporting system in real-time, so the team can quickly get a glimpse of business health and direction daily.

‍

With every new tool that builds an Open API, new opportunities for integrating and manipulating data will arise. For now, we’re proud to lead the way forward into a future of data freedom.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
