Profile

Private service is built on trust, consistency and the details people rarely see.

The work behind the plate is rarely just cooking. It is timing, provisioning, reading guests, understanding movement, holding standards in tight spaces and making service feel effortless.

Founder Project

Galley Flow

Galley Flow was created by Dylan Black from first-hand experience working inside yacht galleys, private yachts and operational food service environments.

The platform connects the reality of chef-led work at sea with the systems yacht teams need: menus, provisioning, supplier communication, orders, guest preferences, prep lists and operational records.

It exists because yacht food operations are often run through scattered messages, spreadsheets and memory. Galley Flow brings those moving parts into one structured workspace built around how chefs and crew actually work.
