This tag is used for the office of a private company which does not fit into another more specific category.

Before using this very general tag, check out the more specific values of the office=* key.

Tags to use in combination

  • name=* - the name of the office
  • brand=* - the brand this office belongs to
  • operator=* - indicates the operator or name of the company operating the office
  • addresses - the address of the office
  • opening_hours=* - hours when the office is open
  • phone=* - phone number of the office
  • website=* - website of the office
  • email=* - email address of the office
  • wheelchair=no/yes/limited - whether the office is suitable for wheelchairs

Detail tagging what the company does

If you haven't found a more appropriate value for the key office=* and think you must use the generic tag office=company, you can still try to specify what the company does using the company=* key.
