A galley cart compartment is disclosed. In embodiments, the galley cart compartment includes an interior compartment or space having left and right sidewalls and a cabin floor. The interior compartment can receive and securely store a galley cart (e.g., trolley) insertable into, and removable from, the interior compartment along an axis of entry (e.g., parallel to the depth of the interior compartment). The galley cart has left and right sides and an underside to which casters are pivotably or rotatably attached, each caster has left and right wheels separated by a wheel gap. Tracks extend along the cabin floor parallel to the axis of entry, a left and right track positioned to engage respectively with the left-side and right-side casters. Each track includes a guide rail that projects into the wheel gap, preventing the caster wheels from rotating when the galley cart is removed from the interior compartment.
