How it works
How a pre-opening order works
Send the brief
Room count, departments, outlet concepts and opening date, or your existing OS&E list or BOQ as a PDF, Excel file or photo.
We build the list
We go through it department by department, and show what is needed on day one, what can follow and what has the longest lead time.
You confirm
We confirm items and alternatives with you, line by line, against your standards.
Delivery, then restocking
Delivery from Sharjah in time for your opening, across all seven emirates, then regular deliveries of consumables once you are open.
Why it helps
Why run hotel OS&E through one supplier
One list instead of many suppliers
Housekeeping, F&B, kitchens and front of house are on one list, so fewer items are missed between departments.
Long-lead items first
We flag long-lead equipment early, so it does not hold up the rest of the opening.
Stock in the UAE
Everyday lines are held in our Sharjah warehouse, for deliveries across the UAE.
We stay after opening
The same account keeps supplying consumables and replacements once the hotel is running.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does OS&E mean for a hotel?
OS&E stands for operating supplies and equipment: the movable items a hotel needs to run, such as linen, amenities, tableware, kitchen smallwares, housekeeping equipment and uniforms. It is separate from FF&E, the furniture, fixtures and equipment installed in the building.
Do you supply hotel pre-opening OS&E in the UAE?
Yes. Bait Al Diafa supplies OS&E for hotel openings in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the UAE, from guest rooms and housekeeping to F&B, kitchens and front of house, delivered from our warehouse in Sharjah.
What do you need to prepare a list?
The room count, the departments you are opening, your outlet concepts and the opening date. An existing OS&E list, BOQ or floor plan helps, but we can start from the room count alone.
How early should we start?
Long-lead kitchen and refrigeration equipment should be specified months ahead. Tableware, smallwares and consumables can follow closer to handover. We flag long-lead items first.
Can you supply just one department?
Yes. We can supply one department or one item, as well as a complete opening list.
Can you match our brand standards?
Send your standards with the list. We confirm each item and any alternative with you before ordering.
Do you continue supplying after opening?
Yes. The same account can keep supplying housekeeping consumables, chemicals, disposables and replacement tableware on regular deliveries.
