Our goal is simple: provide comprehensive restaurant insurance coverage that protects your business, employees, customers, property, and profitability.
General Liability Insurance
General Liability Insurance is the foundation of every restaurant insurance program. This coverage helps protect your business against claims involving bodily injury, property damage, and legal liability.
Coverage may include:
- Customer slip-and-fall accidents
- Third-party bodily injury claims
- Property damage claims
- Advertising injury
- Personal injury claims
- Legal defense costs
- Settlements and judgments
Many landlords require restaurants to carry General Liability Insurance before signing a lease.
Restaurant Property Insurance
Your restaurant relies on expensive equipment, inventory, furnishings, and business property. Restaurant Property Insurance helps protect your investment from unexpected losses caused by covered events.
Coverage may help protect:
- Buildings and structures
- Kitchen equipment
- Walk-in coolers and freezers
- Furniture and fixtures
- Food inventory
- Point-of-sale systems
- Computers and technology equipment
- Outdoor signage
Covered causes of loss may include fire, theft, vandalism, storms, and other covered property damage events.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Restaurant employees work in fast-paced environments where injuries can occur unexpectedly. Workers’ Compensation Insurance helps cover medical expenses and lost wages when employees suffer work-related injuries or illnesses.
Common restaurant claims include:
- Slips and falls
- Burns
- Cuts and lacerations
- Back injuries
- Lifting injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Kitchen accidents
Workers’ Compensation Insurance is required in most states and helps protect both employers and employees.
Business Interruption Insurance
If your restaurant is forced to temporarily close due to a covered property loss, Business Interruption Insurance can help replace lost income and cover ongoing operating expenses.
Coverage may help pay for:
- Lost revenue
- Employee payroll
- Rent or mortgage payments
- Utility expenses
- Loan obligations
- Temporary relocation costs
Business Interruption Insurance can be critical to helping restaurants recover and reopen following a major loss.
Liquor Liability Insurance
Restaurants, bars, taverns, breweries, and establishments that serve alcohol face unique liability exposures. Liquor Liability Insurance helps protect your business from claims arising from alcohol-related incidents.
Coverage may include:
- Third-party bodily injury claims
- Property damage claims
- Legal defense expenses
- Settlement costs
If your business serves beer, wine, or liquor, this coverage is often essential.
Equipment Breakdown Insurance
Modern restaurants depend on specialized equipment to serve customers efficiently. Equipment Breakdown Insurance helps protect against sudden and accidental mechanical or electrical failures.
Coverage may apply to:
- Refrigeration systems
- Walk-in coolers
- Freezers
- Ice machines
- HVAC systems
- Ovens
- Fryers
- Dishwashers
- Electrical systems
Unexpected equipment failures can be costly and may result in lost revenue and spoiled inventory.
Food Spoilage & Food Contamination Coverage
Food inventory represents one of a restaurant’s largest investments. Food Spoilage Coverage helps protect your business when perishable inventory is lost due to equipment failures or covered power outages.
Coverage may include:
- Spoiled food inventory
- Refrigeration failures
- Power interruptions
- Food contamination events
This coverage can help minimize financial losses and get your business back on track quickly.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Restaurants increasingly rely on online ordering systems, point-of-sale technology, and digital payment processing. Cyber Liability Insurance helps protect your business against cyber threats and data breaches.
Coverage may help with:
- Data breach response
- Customer notification expenses
- Credit monitoring services
- Cyber extortion
- Ransomware attacks
- Network security incidents
- Legal defense costs
Protecting customer payment information has never been more important.
Commercial Auto Insurance
If your restaurant owns vehicles or provides delivery services, Commercial Auto Insurance may be necessary.
Coverage options include:
- Liability Coverage
- Collision Coverage
- Comprehensive Coverage
- Medical Payments Coverage
- Uninsured Motorist Coverage
- Hired and Non-Owned Auto Coverage
This protection is especially important for restaurants offering food delivery, catering services, or transportation of supplies.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
Restaurants often employ large staffs and face a variety of employment-related exposures. Employment Practices Liability Insurance helps protect against claims involving:
- Wrongful termination
- Harassment
- Discrimination
- Retaliation
- Failure to promote
- Employment-related legal defense costs
Even unfounded claims can be expensive to defend without proper coverage.
Umbrella Liability Insurance
