Coverage, in context
Protect the dining room and everything behind it.
A restaurant policy needs to reflect the way your business runs. These are common areas to review; the right mix depends on your operation, state, contracts, and carrier terms.
Kitchen, stock, and downtime
A fire, failed refrigeration, or equipment breakdown can interrupt service. Ask about property, spoilage, equipment breakdown, and business income triggers.
The people behind service
Share your employee count, payroll, and state so a licensed agent can review workers compensation and other staff-related needs.
Alcohol, delivery, and catering
Tell us where and how you serve. Liquor liability, vehicles used for business, and off-site work may call for separate terms or policies.
Before you choose
A low premium is only one line on the menu.
Ask what a quote actually includes. A useful comparison makes the limits, covered activities, exclusions, and out-of-pocket costs visible before you decide.

Good questions, straight answers
Restaurant insurance questions
These answers are starting points. A licensed agent can review the actual policy and your state and lease requirements.
What insurance does a restaurant usually review?
Many owners start with liability, property, and business income, often through a businessowners policy. Workers compensation, liquor liability, auto, spoilage, and other coverage depend on the operation and policy.
Does a businessowners policy cover food spoilage?
Do not assume it does. Spoilage and equipment breakdown may need specific coverage or endorsements. Review causes of loss, limits, deductibles, and any power-outage conditions with an agent.
Do I need liquor liability if I serve alcohol?
Serving alcohol creates a separate liability question. Requirements and availability vary by state, lease, and carrier. Tell the agent how you serve alcohol so the proposed policy can be checked.
What should I bring to compare restaurant quotes?
Bring your current declarations, lease requirements, locations, annual sales, payroll, employee count, service model, alcohol details, vehicles, and claims history if available. Compare limits, exclusions, deductibles, and carrier terms alongside price.
