Standard Templates? Galley’s Got ‘Em

When it comes to running a kitchen efficiently, every operator knows that good systems start with great templates. From prep lists to temperature trackers, these tools help ensure consistency, compliance, and confidence across every shift.

At Galley, we’ve always offered the option to create custom templates—purpose-built exports developed by our Product Services team to meet the unique needs of each operation. But now, we’re excited to share something new: Galley’s Standard Templates are officially available to all users.

We Listened, We Acted

Over the past year, many of you told us that the most useful templates were also the most universal—such as daily menus, prep lists, and temperature trackers. So, we took your feedback, studied the most-requested formats, and built a ready-to-use library of templates designed to save time and streamline operations right out of the box.

Now, any Galley user can access and export these templates directly—no customization required.

What’s Included

The new Standard Templates include:

  • Prep List – A detailed list of all ingredients across selected menus, organized alphabetically with both total and trimmed quantities.

  • Temperature Tracker – Heating and cooling control logs, with space for recording time, temperature, and initials for every check.

  • Menu Item Cards – Four cards per page for quick visual identification of menu items, complete with allergens and nutrition data.

  • Daily Menu – A simple high-level view of all menu items for a given day, including recipe names and allergen info.

  • Packing List – Perfect for delivery and “food as medicine” operations, showing each recipe’s components, shelf life, and packaging notes.

  • Product Book – A comprehensive reference of all menu items and nutrition data, ideal for sharing with customer-facing teams.

Each of these templates is built from the formats our most successful operators use every day—and they’re now available to everyone.
