Restaurant & Hospitality Insurance

For a business that mixes property, food, liquor, guests, and staff — and the everyday claims that come with it.

Commercial building
Restaurants & Hospitality

Insurance built around how you operate

Restaurants combine property-heavy operations, food handling, liquor service, and a constant flow of guests and employees — a mix that produces frequent and varied claims, from kitchen fires to slip-and-falls.

We build hospitality programs that protect the build-out and equipment you've invested in, the income that keeps you open, and the liquor and guest exposures that can turn one night into a lawsuit.

Coverage essentials

Coverage built for restaurants & hospitality

The core protections we typically structure for businesses like yours:

General Liability

Guest injuries, slip-and-falls, and other third-party claims on your premises.

Liquor Liability

Distinct from general liability and important wherever alcohol is served — GL typically excludes liquor-related claims.

Property & Equipment Breakdown

Your build-out, kitchen equipment, and refrigeration systems.

Business Interruption & Spoilage

Lost income and spoiled inventory after a covered shutdown.

Workers' Compensation

Burns, cuts, and slips are everyday kitchen exposures.

Cyber & EPLI

POS/payment-data breaches and the employment claims a high-turnover staff can bring.

Have a unique exposure?

No two operations are identical. If there's a risk specific to your business, we can structure coverage for it.

From an insurance perspective

What to look for

The details that decide whether a policy actually protects you when it matters:

Liquor liability limits

Confirm dram-shop and assault-and-battery exposures are addressed — and not quietly excluded at bars and clubs.

Assault & battery exclusions

Common carve-outs in hospitality policies. Read them carefully before you assume you're covered.

Spoilage & equipment breakdown

A refrigeration failure can wipe out inventory overnight. Confirm both coverages are in place.

Business interruption period

Make sure the indemnity period reflects how long a real rebuild would actually take.

Fire suppression warranties

Hood and suppression-system maintenance is often a policy condition — skip it and a fire claim can be denied.

Employment practices (EPLI)

Wage-and-hour and harassment claims are common in high-turnover hospitality staffs.

Questions & answers

Restaurants & Hospitality insurance FAQ

Is liquor liability separate from general liability?

Usually yes. General liability typically excludes alcohol-related claims, so a business that serves alcohol generally needs a distinct liquor liability policy.

What insurance do restaurants need?

Common coverages include general liability, liquor liability, property and equipment breakdown, business interruption with spoilage, workers' compensation, and cyber/EPLI.

Does restaurant insurance cover spoiled food?

Spoilage from a covered event or an equipment breakdown can be covered, but usually only when spoilage and equipment-breakdown coverage are specifically included.
