Essential Coverage for Food & Hospitality Businesses

Customer interaction, employee turnover, equipment reliance, and liquor exposure create a complex risk profile. The right policy package protects you from financial loss, lawsuits, equipment breakdowns, and business interruption.

General Liability Insurance

Protection against slips, falls, food-borne illness claims, customer injury, and property damage.
Most landlords and vendor agreements require this coverage.

Liquor Liability (Dram Shop)

Required for businesses that sell or serve alcohol. Covers claims related to over-service,
customer actions, and alcohol-related incidents.

Commercial Property Insurance

Protects the building, contents, inventory, refrigeration, furniture, signage, and improvements.
Essential for restaurants and lodging properties.

Business Interruption / Loss of Income

Covers lost revenue if you must close or reduce operations due to fire, equipment failure,
utility disruption, or covered claims.

Workers’ Compensation

Kitchen staff, servers, hospitality workers, and delivery employees face injury risk.
This coverage protects both you and your employees.

Equipment Breakdown

Coverage for refrigerators, coolers, freezers, HVAC, kitchen machinery, and electrical systems.
Critical for preventing major financial loss.

Food Spoilage & Contamination

Protects against loss of inventory from power outages, equipment failure, or contamination events.

Cyber Liability

Restaurants and hotels rely on POS systems, reservations, online ordering, and card payments — making cyber protection extremely important.
