General liability Coverage
Risk Factors
A restaurant needs general liability insurance to cover bodily injury or property damage claims that result from accidents, like slips and falls.
Solution
General liability insurance covers the damages caused by these accidents. It also covers product liability which protects your restaurant from claims arising from food-borne illnesses.
Liquor liability Coverage
Risk Factors
You may be held liable if you caused or contributed to someone’s intoxication through the sale or service of liquor.
Solution
If your restaurant sells or serves alcoholic beverages, you’ll need to purchase liquor liability insurance to cover your business from any lawsuits filed against your business.
Employment Practices liability Coverage
Risk Factors
Employees may sue restaurants for discrimination, harassment, and other workplace torts.
Solution
Such torts aren’t covered by general liability insurance. To protect your business, you’ll need to purchase employment practices liability coverage.
Business income Coverage
Risk Factors
If a fire or another peril damages property at your restaurant and your business is forced to shut down, you could suffer a significant income loss.
Solution
To protect your business, you can avoid such events by purchasing a business income coverage.
Spoilage Coverage
Risk Factors
Food stored in refrigerators or freezers may spoil if cooling equipment breaks down or shuts off due to a power outage.
Solution
You can insure your restaurant against costly spoilage losses by purchasing spoilage coverage.
Employee theft Coverage
Risk Factors
Restaurant employees may steal food, cash, and other property from their employers.
Solution
Theft by employees is an excluded peril under a typical property policy. To protect your business, you’ll need to buy employee theft coverage.
Peak season Coverage
Risk Factors
You should consider buying this coverage if your restaurant generates a high volume of business at certain times of the year, such as the summer months or the Christmas season.
Solution
It provides a higher limit for personal property coverage during a specified period. Many BOPs automatically include this coverage, offering a 25 percent seasonal increase.
Commercial Auto Coverage
Risk Factors
Many restaurants own vehicles they use for picking up supplies, delivering food or other business purposes.
Solution
Business-owned vehicles should be insured under a business auto policy. The policy should cover non-owned autos and hired autos as well as vehicles the restaurant owns.
