What are the characteristics that put any businessman into the league of great entrepreneurs? If I were to rank the necessary qualities in descending order I would list them as follows: courage to try innovative ideas, farsightedness, business acumen, and exceptional operational skills. Since not many businessmen posses all of the above characteristics, only a few manage to sustain or repeat their success. However, there are always exceptionally talented people like Seb Rametta who continue to achieve success year after year.

With an integrated experience in various aspects of the food industry, such as franchising, marketing, sourcing, manufacturing, restaurant operations, logistics, supply chain and menu development, Sebastian Rametta has turned every venture he touched into an unadulterated success. The journey that started with the Arnie's Bagels, Inc., a wholesale manufacturer of all-natural premium, par-baked authentic New York bagels, has only grown bigger and better with each new enterprise.

Some would say that Seb Rametta has a nose for the opportunities that others would easily miss. When Arnie's Bagels, Inc. was riding high on the wave of success with a nationwide popularity and customers that included McDonald's, Disney World, Dunkin' Donuts, Roy Rogers, Friendly's, A&P Supermarkets and King's Supermarkets, Rametta perceived the future of the competitive environment and an impending shift in trends. So, Seb Rametta and his partners made a huge profit by selling it to Quakers Oats in 1994.

He sniffed out the huge potential and endless possibilities of the "Original SoupMan" brand where others overlooked it. The year was 2004 when Seb Rametta entered into an arrangement with Al Yeganeh, "the Original SoupMan," which has turned out to be an overwhelming success.

However, the genius of Sebastian Rametta does not lie in simply ferreting out a potentially profitable business, but also in his ability to efficiently handle the executive management of the company. His participation in day-to-day operations, such as product development, sales, distribution, along with strategic relationships and joint ventures makes sure that business continues to profit from his knowledge and expertise.

Seb Rametta also remains involved in the company's various activities including ownership and franchising of Original Soupman restaurants; distribution of a retail line of premium, gourmet "heat-n-serve soups;" and operation of an ecommerce website.
