A system for wirelessly communicating with aircraft galley inserts (102a-102c), comprising: an on-board WiFi router for an aircraft cabin; one or more galley inserts (102a-102c) for the aircraft cabin communicatively coupled to the on-board WiFi router, a galley insert of the one or more galley inserts (102a-102c) including one or more components and a communication interface configured to establish connectivity with the on-board WiFi router; at least one device for the aircraft cabin other than the galley insert; and a controller communicatively coupled to the communication interface, the controller configured to: communicate with the at least one device via the on-board WiFi router; collect data from the one or more components of the galley insert; and transmit the collected data, via the communication interface, to the on-board WiFi router, wherein the on-board WiFi router is configured to receive the collected data from the galley insert and transmit the collected data to the at least one device, wherein the at least one device comprises a portable electronic device, and wherein the controller is configured to receive a passenger-input order or instruction from the portable electronic device via the on-board WiFi router and is further configured to control the galley insert based on the passenger-input order or instruction, wherein the one or more components of the galley insert comprise at least one of a sensor, a heating element, a cooling element, a power supply, or an actuator, and wherein the passenger-input order or instruction from the portable electronic device is configured to control at least one of the heating element, the cooling element, or the actuator. an on-board WiFi router for an aircraft cabin;
