Understanding Restaurant Insurance
Restaurants and food service businesses rely on more than great food and service. Property, equipment, employees, customer safety, and business interruptions can all impact daily operations. The right insurance program helps protect what keeps your business running.
​
A restaurant insurance program may include:
-
Business Owners Policy (BOP)
-
General Liability Insurance
-
Commercial Property Insurance
-
Workers Compensation Insurance
-
Business Interruption Coverage

What insurance does a restaurant typically need?
Many restaurants start with a Business Owners Policy (BOP), which combines property and liability coverage into one policy. Depending on your operation, additional coverages such as workers compensation, commercial auto, or business interruption protection may also be important.
What happens if my restaurant has to temporarily close?
Business interruption coverage may help replace lost income and assist with certain ongoing expenses if a covered loss forces your restaurant to suspend operations.
Does restaurant insurance cover customer injuries?
Many Business Owners Policies include general liability coverage, which will help protect your restaurant if a customer is injured on your premises or claims your business caused property damage.
Do food delivery vehicles require commercial auto insurance?
Vehicles used for business purposes often require commercial auto coverage. Coverage needs can vary based on how vehicles are owned and used.
Protection Built for Busy Restaurants
Every shift brings new challenges, from employees and equipment to customers and daily operations. We help restaurant owners review their coverage and build protection that fits the way they do business.
