Optimum Solutions Inc

Optimum Solutions Inc. is a Canadian company that offers catering and supply solutions to airlines and railways. It was established in 2006. It acts as a single point of contact for transport companies that want fresh, local and trendy food products seven days a week.

The company combines a group of caterers, production kitchens and manufacturers under one management. It says this gives customers a strong alternative at an affordable cost. It acts as a single sales counter for innovation, buying, catering and logistics. Its stated aim is to find the best solution for each customer at the best price and to act as an extension of the customer's own company.

The business has three arms. Optimum Solutions focuses on aviation and the food and beverage industry. Optimum Catering Solutions serves airlines and railways. Optimum Strategies links last-mile and commissary providers with fresh, frozen and ambient food makers.

Menu work is done by an in-house research and development team led by chefs. They design menus around the customer's budget and what consumers want. They oversee each project from the first idea through production, delivery, training and quality management.
