Ourhome — Growing the catering business under Hanwha
- Where it stands now
- Integration — growing through acquisitions and new brands after a change of owner
2025 revenue was KRW 2.4497 trillion (+9.2%) and operating profit KRW 80.4 billion (−9.3%). Of this, overseas revenue was about KRW 230.5 billion.
Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 669.4 billion (+17.6%) and operating profit KRW 18.2 billion (+86.9%).
On Korea's National Pension Service public workplace data, 7,056 people were on the pension register in August 2026. That is 96 more (1.4%) than in October 2025; in the same period 2,458 people joined and 2,355 left, a structure in which many people come and go.
- Three decisions within a year
- Catering business acquisition: after joining the Hanwha group in May 2025, its subsidiary Gourmet de Galleria acquired Shinsegae Food's contract catering business for KRW 120 billion in December 2025.
- New restaurant brand: in May 2026 it opened the first store of the buffet brand 'TAKE' in Jonggak, Seoul, and is adding stores at Lotte World Adventure and Mia Sageori.
- Mid- to long-term targets and pruning: it has set targets of KRW 5 trillion in revenue and KRW 300 billion in operating profit by 2030, and meanwhile is disposing of non-core assets such as a kimchi brand trademark and the site of the second Gyeryong plant.
- Three people it will look for
- Contract catering integration and operations leaders — someone to merge the acquired catering sites into Ourhome's operating system
- Restaurant brand opening and store operations managers — someone to expand 'TAKE' to multiple stores
- Overseas catering sales and food exports — someone to win overseas catering clients and grow food exports
- For HR
- The large catering and food-supply companies compete for the same site managers and contract sales staff. With around 2,000-plus hires and departures a year, people change often, so it is best to secure site managers ahead of opening and contract schedules.
- For job seekers
- Experience running large catering sites, integrating an organization after an acquisition, or opening new restaurant stores is worth the most at this company right now.
