Our business started in 1985. Our first customers were the mobile
canteen trucks. We branched out into the vending segment in 1990,
convenience stores in 1992, and then supermarkets in 1994.
We have grown with our national account customers to a point in which
we are servicing all of New England and parts of the Midwest. We produce seven days
a week, two shifts a day, for 52
weeks per year.
Our current volume - which is growing - is 250,000 handmade sandwiches,
meals and salads per week.

We started with
Canteen Trucks, but now we deliver direct
to stores and supermarkets!

As we have grown, we have
constantly looked into new ways to increase throughput and
quality while keeping costs down. This approach, in turn,
has enabled us to pass savings to our customers.
We have invested in new equipment, having acquired high-end slicers costing
$100,000 in addition to multiple tilt skillets, grills, fry-o-lators,
and other kitchen essentials. These upgrades at once
increased production and drove down supplier costs since we can
buy in larger bulk quantities. We have also added Modified
Atmosphere Packaging equipment (Oricks and Mult-vac) costing in excess of
$250,000. These machines enable us to vacuum-seal products
to give them a longer shelf-life. As a result, our customers
decrease their waste and can order in larger
quantities.
Indeed, this growth and customer focus will continue as long as
OARS exists. It is and has always been our mission to provide the best sandwiches
possible at the fairest price, using our daily delivered meats,
cheeses, breads, and produce.
