SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2025 / Galley, the leading Culinary Resource Planning (CRP) platform, is proud to announce the launch of Menu Planner, a next-generation tool designed to help foodservice teams streamline workflows, ensure compliance, and optimize costs.

For too long, menu planning has been bogged down by inefficient spreadsheets, fragmented systems, and costly guesswork. Menu Planner transforms this process, offering an intelligent, centralized solution for contract dining, catering, multi-unit restaurants, and institutional foodservice operations.

Solving Foodservice's Biggest Challenges The foodservice industry is evolving rapidly, and with it, the demands of menu planning have become increasingly complex. Operators today face challenges such as:

• Fragmented planning processes - Outdated tools and disconnected workflows create inefficiencies.

• Inconsistent execution across locations - Standardizing menus while allowing local flexibility remains a challenge.

• Compliance headaches - Managing allergens, dietary constraints, and sourcing regulations manually is time-consuming and error-prone.

• Lack of cost visibility - Operators struggle to track ingredient prices, waste, and menu profitability in real-time.

Menu Planner was built to tackle these issues head-on by providing an integrated, intelligent, and scalable solution that revolutionizes the way food businesses plan and execute menus.
