What is OS&E?


Operating Supplies and Equipment (OS&E) is an essential component in the operation of any commercial project, particularly within the hospitality industry. Contrary to its counterpart FF&E, items falling under OS&E are smaller, typically manufactured off-site, and do not require installation. These products are often available "off the shelf" and can conveniently be selected from catalogues.


Broadly, the spectrum of OS&E is vast, incorporating a range of products fluidly transitioning between front-of-house items to vital back-of-house assets. It envelops everything from aesthetically pleasing chinaware that adorns your dining spaces, intricately woven bed linen that increase the comfort quotient of your guest rooms, to the pristine silverware that adds a touch of elegance to your tabletops. 


Inclusively, it spans into the domains covering practical supplies such as uniforms for staff, various housekeeping equipment, and essential engineering tools. It extends further to cover all loose kitchen and laundry equipment, comfortable bedding and mattresses. 


Small yet significant details, like fuel, array of toiletries such as soap, shampoo, cleaning materials, everyday essentials like matches, napkins, stationery and other similar items, fall under the broad OS&E umbrella. These items, while seemingly insignificant in isolation, collectively contribute to the smooth functionality of your establishment and greatly enhance the user experience.
