There's a discussion in GT: Starships (pp. 58, 60) about what goes into a galley -- specialized facilities for ships with more than ~20 staterooms -- but that's just a food preparation area for someone to exercise their Cooking skills.

Note that GT assumes "total life support," which produces food as well as air and water. Therefore, "food preparation" includes handling things like algae, mycoprotein, and vat-grown meat. GT: Far Trader (p. 69) talks about food additives to make this more palatable.

GURPS Ultratech (p. 69) does have an Autokitchen, which is essentially a robot with Cooking skill that is built into a galley. This would be compatible with GT without modification, and probably the best way to handle the matter.
Correct GT doesn't talk about Auto-Galleys, it talks about stores in relation to total life support. GS has same wording as GT. My confusion with so many "Space" RPG rules.
