What Kind of Insurance Does a Restaurant Need?

Restaurant Insurance protects you and your business from a myriad of problems, from broken equipment to liability lawsuits. All of which, can arise from your business operations. Insurance coverages include: 

Business Owner's Policy

​​​​​Your business owner’s policy, known as a BOP combines your General Liability Insurance and Property Insurance, offering small restaurants a discount on both - a good way to save money on your insurance. Most policies also include Business Interruption Insurance, which reimburses you for lost income if your restaurant has to close down while it rebuilds or repairs after a covered property loss event. 

 

General Liability Insurance

General Liability Insurance provides essential lawsuit protection. If a customer, employee, or delivery person gets injured on your property, GL Insurance can cover the lawsuit. General Liability also covers lawsuits over advertising injuries, damaged reputations, third-party property damage, and foodborne illnesses.

 

Liquor Liability Insurance

Many states including Texas, have laws that hold restaurants responsible if they serve alcohol to an intoxicated customer who goes on to cause an accident, injure someone, damage property, or cause other problems. Liquor Liability Insurance covers the cost of lawsuits arising from these issues.

 

Property Insurance

Property Insurance covers furniture, kitchen equipment, buildings, and other property that the restaurant owns. In the case of theft, fire, windstorms, or other covered events, your insurance company will reimburse you for the cost to replace and repair your property.


Workers’ Compensation Insurance

This insurance policy is almost always required by law and covers lost wages and medical expense for employees hurt on the job. Many policies also come with Employer's Liability Insurance, which shields you from the cost of a Workers' Comp lawsuit by paying any legal bills and damages you owe to the injured employees.
