A device module (6) for a galley (4) of a passenger aircraft (2) contains electrical consumers (8a-h) with a maximum total electrical power (PM), a power input (10) for an on-board power supply system (12) of the passenger aircraft (2) to feed in electrical input power (PE), an energy storage device (14) for energy from the power input (10) for the consumers (8a-h), and a control unit (20) to limit the input power (PE) to a maximum value (WM) less than the maximum power (PM), and to feed a power surplus (34) of the input power (PE) to the energy storage device (14) in order to feed additional power (36) for consumers (8a-h) from the energy storage device (14). A galley (4) contains the device module (6). In a method for operating the device module (6), the input power (PE) is limited to the maximum value (WM), a power surplus (34) is fed to the energy storage device (14), and additional power (36) is fed to the consumers (8a-h) from the energy storage device (14).
