The company is a majority-owned subsidiary of Hanwha Group following a 2025 restructuring that placed it within Hanwha Machinery & Service Holdings.

The company's underlying technical and physical infrastructure includes 14 logistics centers with cold chain systems supporting 24-hour nationwide delivery, 9 manufacturing plants, a Magok Food Research Center employing 130+ researchers across 39 research areas, and a procurement network spanning 1,500+ suppliers with direct sourcing from 50+ domestic regions and 30+ countries. Certifications include KOLAS (first in industry, 2005), HACCP, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, and Smart HACCP. A March 2026 contract with Dassault Systèmes introduces an integrated PLM+LIMS R&D platform, the first of its kind in Korea's domestic food industry. AI usage is limited to operational applications: water consumption prediction, menu recommendation automation, and IoT-based factory automation.

Revenue mechanics span recurring contract-based institutional catering (subscription-style), HMR product sales through the Ourhome Mall e-commerce platform and Naver Smart Store (transactional), restaurant and concession transaction fees (airport food courts, fine dining), B2B ingredient distribution through the TFS portal, and international subscription-based catering including in-flight meals for 8 global airlines via HACOR Inc. The A1 Membership program (BLACK: 300,000 KRW/year; PURPLE: free) provides subscription-based loyalty. Disclosed 2025 consolidated revenue reached 2.45 trillion KRW, making OURHOME the largest dedicated food service operator in South Korea.
