We bring directly to you our ideas and proposals on the essentials which are a must for newly opening and / or properties about to undergo renovation - OSE, guest supplies, printed goods, etc. These are the crucial tools which let the customer experience firsthand the uniqueness of the hotel, and directly reflect the quality of design, grade, and capacity of each facility.
At the preliminary development stage, we assist you (while keeping in mind the owner`s preferences and operation functionality) with overall budget calculation, and mapping of guest rooms, public and back of house areas. Next step is researching and identifying suitable equipment and consumable supplies in line with the hotel budget, concept, ambience, and furniture selection.
No matter the rank of the property, and based on our expertise and sound experience, we commit to look for and select products and suppliers to meet in a satisfactory way both the owner`s expectations and the operation needs.
We will spare no effort or time in putting together the perfect product line up. Our supply selection comes hand in hand with full comprehension of each individual design concept and operation flow, and is tailored to match your interior, design, trends, actual implementation, and budget requirements. If necessary, we also provide consultation on original merchandise.
We make sure to visit the regions of manufacture, factories and show rooms of our business partners to screen the products, familiarize ourselves with the array of goods used in competitors` properties and stay in touch with current trends so that we are capable to offer the assistance required to establish an attractive hotel facility.
The role of PA is to oversee all pre-opening research and operational organization on behalf of the owner or the business operator.
PA is sometimes interpreted as a Purchasing Agent who is in charge of supply, however at Market Bridge we act as a Procurement Agent and engage in the whole process starting with product research and selection, to order and delivery.
OSE stands for Operation Supply Equipment, also known as OE (Operation Equipment) or HOE (Hotel Operation Equipment).
Sometimes the term includes guest supply (expendables), however generally it limits to supplies which are not perishable and are meant for both employees and guest usage.
The process of selecting the right products and vendors in line with the client`s budget, design and vision requires a professional knowledge and sufficient experience in the field.
As a rule, the PA contract for OSE does not cover guest supplies and printing items, but at Market Bridge we provide support on these products as well, if requested.
Phase 1 : OSE and artwork screening. Budget drafting per category.
Phase 2 : Screening supplies per hotel`s concept and needs. In case of custom-made products -proceed to sample manufacturing.
Phase 3 : Finalizing quantity per item and placing orders with each supplier.
Phase 4 : Finalizing delivery numbers and overseeing actual deliveries.
Phase 5 : Documentation filing – assets ledger, supplier list, product specification catalog, and other OSE and artwork related paperwork.
