Careers · How we build

We're the AI-first team building the data platform for foodservice.

The Galley platform is Culinary Resource Planning — the software 6,000+ kitchens use to plan, cost, and serve food with precision. We build it with a lean, AI-native team and a deep respect for the craft of food. Come build with us — or partner with us.

Our DNA

How we do anything is how we do everything — and two convictions run through all of it.

AI AI-first, on purpose

Foodservice is the last great industry to go digital, and AI is what finally makes the leap possible. So we build intelligence into everything — and give a small team the leverage to do the work of a much larger one.

Impact Sustainability by design

Better-run kitchens waste less and feed people better. Every efficiency we ship is food not wasted, money not lost, and one more step toward a more sustainable food system. Impact isn't a side project — it's the point.

How we build

An AI-first team, by default.

We're not "adding AI" to how we work — it's the starting assumption. That changes what a small, senior team can build, and how fast the industry gets the software it's waited decades for.

01

AI in every seat

Engineering, go-to-market, operations — every function runs with AI in the loop. People set the direction and the taste; agents handle the toil.

02

Leverage over headcount

We'd rather give a small team superpowers than grow a big one. Fewer people, more ownership, dramatically more shipped per person.

03

Ship, learn, repeat

We move in days, not quarters. Real kitchens use what we ship almost immediately, and their feedback compounds into the next release.

04

Grounded in real food data

AI is only as good as the structured data beneath it. Recipes, costs, nutrition, production — that food-data intelligence is both our moat and our foundation.

What we're building

Culinary Resource Planning — a brand-new category.

The Galley platform aligns kitchen creativity with operational excellence and financial accuracy. One system for the whole back of house — built on a foundation of food-data intelligence.

The intelligent layer inside the platform.

Galley Assist heals messy data, forecasts demand, and drafts the busywork — so culinary teams spend their time on the food, not the spreadsheets.

Why it matters

Without Galley, I couldn't do my job. We simply wouldn't be able to function at this level, let alone compete.

Our mission: power 100,000 kitchen operations on Galley by 2033.
Saving 5+ hours per chef, every week — so teams can get back to the craft.
Who backs us

Investors who share our DNA: AI + sustainability.

The two convictions at our core aren't just how we build — they're written into our cap table. We partnered with two firms who each embody one half of it.

First believers in AI-native founders — one of the original venture firms built exclusively for AI.

Zetta backed AI-native companies before "AI-first" was a phrase. Their bet — that intelligent software will remake every industry — is exactly ours for foodservice. The natural first believers in an AI-first Galley.

Life at Galley

Galley team benefits

A remote-first, globally distributed team — built around trust, growth, and getting real work done.

Unlimited Time Off

Enjoy a flexible vacation schedule with an unlimited time off policy. While time away needs to be approved, no more stressing about fitting in personal time as long as we're all achieving our goals.

Medical, Dental, & Vision

Employees and their families will enjoy a 100% employee / 50% family contribution for insurance benefits.

Work From Home

With a diverse workforce across the globe, Galley makes it easy to work from anywhere. Employees are given stipends for a best-in-class at-home technology setup.

Remote Learning & Development

Employees are encouraged to take advantage of remote learning sessions held bi-weekly, plus larger programs to drive career & personal growth.

Flexible Work

Employment at Galley doesn't demand a traditional 5-day work week. Depending on departmental needs, employees can deliver a 5-day workload on a flexible schedule.

Team Meetups

We love remote working, but nothing builds connection like meeting in person. We gather as individual teams and as a whole company at least once a year.

Is Galley hiring?

We're a lean team and hire selectively. Current openings appear in the Open Roles section above. When nothing is posted, we still welcome exceptional builders — reach us any time at hello@galleysolutions.com.

What does "AI-first" mean at Galley?

It's our starting assumption, not an add-on. Every function — engineering, go-to-market, operations — runs with AI in the loop, so a small, senior team can build and ship at a pace the industry has never seen. Our AI is grounded in structured food-data intelligence, which keeps it accurate and trustworthy.

What is Culinary Resource Planning (CRP)?

CRP is the category the Galley platform is defining. It aligns kitchen creativity with operational excellence and financial accuracy — unifying recipes and food costs, nutrition, menus, production, inventory, and procurement on one data-driven platform, with Galley Assist as the AI layer on top.

Who invests in Galley?

Galley is backed by Zetta Venture Partners — one of the original AI-native venture firms, based in San Francisco — and Astanor, a global impact investor transforming the agrifood system. Together they reflect our core DNA: AI and sustainability.

How do investors or partners get in touch?
