Narrative:

After maintenance delay; ferried aircraft with 1 flight attendant on board. No passenger. Flight manual states that pilot is responsible for cabin securing only if no flight attendants assigned. Therefore; did not secure the cabin. Consulted manual regarding ferry flts and noted it is a part 91 operation. With no passenger; I offered the flight attendant the opportunity to ride on the jumpseat. She accepted. During rollout; experienced a loud bang outside the cockpit door. Turns out a galley cart from the rear galley made its way up the aisle and crashed into the cockpit door breaking off its hinges and damaging all 3 strike plates.
