Insurance for Restaurants & Bars

Coverage for everything from the kitchen to last call.

Restaurants and bars face risks a standard business policy doesn't fully cover — a walk-in cooler failure, a slip on a wet floor, or an incident tied to alcohol service. We build coverage specifically for food and beverage operations, including the gaps most general policies leave open.

Coverage We Build Around Your Business

What restaurants & bars insurance typically includes.

Real Risk, Real Coverage

Common restaurants & bars risks — and how coverage responds.

The Risk

A patron is over-served and causes an incident on or off your premises.

How Coverage Responds

Liquor liability is a separate coverage from general liability — if you serve alcohol without it, you likely have no coverage for these claims at all.

The Risk

A walk-in cooler fails overnight and you lose a week's worth of inventory.

How Coverage Responds

Equipment breakdown and food spoilage coverage helps replace lost product and repair or replace the failed equipment.

The Risk

A customer slips on a wet floor near the entrance or restroom.

How Coverage Responds

General liability (through your BOP) covers third-party injury claims tied to your premises.

Questions We Hear Often

Restaurants & Bars insurance FAQs.

Does my general liability policy cover alcohol-related incidents?

Almost never automatically — liquor liability is a separate coverage, and if you serve or sell alcohol, going without it leaves a serious gap most restaurant owners don't realize exists until it's too late.

What's covered under a Business Owner's Policy for a restaurant?

A BOP typically bundles general liability and commercial property in one policy, often at a better rate than buying them separately — we tailor the limits to your kitchen, dining room, and equipment values.

Do I need commercial auto if my delivery drivers use their own cars?

Yes, in most cases — hired and non-owned auto coverage protects your business if an employee causes an accident while delivering for you, even in their personal vehicle.

Is food spoilage from a power outage covered?

It can be, under equipment breakdown or specific spoilage coverage — this is worth confirming explicitly, since not every property policy includes it by default.
