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 over 350,000 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 costing in excess of $400,000. These
machines enable us to vacuum-seal and gas-flush 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.
