Galley vs Kosto

Galley is a culinary resource planning platform for foodservice operators, linking kitchen planning with operational and financial data. It calculates recipe costs from ingredients, sub-recipes, yields, and vendor prices, then updates those costs when prices change. Teams can organize multi-week menu cycles across locations and convert menus into scheduled production plans based on demand. Nutrition tools include USDA-backed analysis, FDA-compliant labels, and allergen tracking that adjusts when recipes change. Galley Assist imports recipes from files, URLs, or prompts, and the platform connects to external AI tools through MCP. Its open API exposes recipes, ingredients, costs, menus, and nutrition data. Galley lists many software integrations and EDI supplier connections, including Sysco and US Foods. It is a web application optimized for desktop and tablet screens; smartphones are not supported or recommended. A free plan is available, and the SMB Accelerator plan starts at $99 a month. Full platform pricing is scoped to operation size and location count.
