Restaurant Insurance
A restaurant is one of the most complex and liability-rich businesses you can own. Restaurant insurance gives food service operators the layered protection they need to keep their doors open, their staff protected, and their guests coming back when the unexpected happens.
Covering Everything Between the Kitchen and the Customer
Running a restaurant means managing fire hazards, food safety risks, alcohol service, employee injuries, and customer liability all under one roof and often all at once. A single grease fire, foodborne illness outbreak, or slip and fall in the dining room can generate claims that a standard business policy is not equipped to handle.
Commercial General Liability
Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims including slip and fall accidents, customer injuries, and incidents arising from your day-to-day restaurant operations.
Commercial Property Coverage
Protects your building, kitchen equipment, furniture, signage, and food inventory against fire, theft, vandalism, and other covered perils that could force a costly closure and interrupt your revenue stream.
Liquor Liability
Covers claims arising from alcohol service at your restaurant, including incidents involving intoxicated guests that occur on your premises or after they have left your establishment.
Equipment Breakdown Coverage
Covers the repair or replacement of essential kitchen systems including commercial ovens, refrigeration units, fryers, and HVAC equipment when mechanical failure disrupts your service and your revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your success is at the heart of everything we do. As trusted insurance agents, we’re here to provide clear answers and expert guidance, helping you navigate challenges, uncover opportunities, and achieve lasting growth.
Why isn't a standard commercial business policy enough for a restaurant?
Standard commercial policies are designed around general business operations and rarely account for the specific risks that restaurants face every day. Grease fires, foodborne illness claims, liquor liability, equipment breakdown in a commercial kitchen, and the high-volume customer traffic of a busy dining room all create exposures that generic commercial coverage frequently excludes or significantly underinsures. Restaurant insurance is underwritten with the food service industry in mind, which means the coverage definitions, policy limits, and available endorsements are structured around the risks you actually carry rather than a broad commercial framework built for a very different kind of business.
Does restaurant insurance cover my employees if they are injured on the job?
Employee injuries are covered under workers compensation insurance, which is a separate policy from your restaurant insurance program and is required by law in most states. Your restaurant policy addresses third-party claims from guests and visitors, property damage, and business liability. Workers compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for employees injured while performing their job duties. Both coverages are essential components of a complete restaurant insurance program and should be discussed together with your agent to ensure there are no gaps between how your staff and your guests are protected.
What happens to my coverage if I add a bar, patio, or catering operation to my restaurant?
Expanding your restaurant's offerings is exciting but it also changes your risk profile in ways your existing policy may not automatically address. Adding a full bar increases your liquor liability exposure significantly. Opening an outdoor patio introduces new premises liability considerations. Launching a catering operation extends your food service liability beyond your physical location. Each of these additions should be disclosed to your agent promptly so your policy can be updated to reflect what your business has become rather than what it looked like when you first purchased coverage.
