As an independent insurance agency, we understand that running a restaurant is a big responsibility. There’s so much more to a successful operation than just outstanding food and happy guests—it’s about making sure your business is protected from the unexpected. The right insurance coverage can help your restaurant thrive, whether you own a cozy café or a bustling bar and grill.
Why Restaurant Insurance Matters
Restaurant owners face a unique blend of risks every day, from kitchen accidents to guest injuries and property damage. But did you know that your business could also face significant exposure from alcohol-related incidents or food delivery—even if you aren’t a traditional bar or don’t directly employ drivers?
That’s where specialized coverage options come in handy.
Liquor Liability: More Important Than You Might Think
Liquor liability insurance isn’t just for bars. If your restaurant serves alcohol—even just beer and wine—it’s possible to be held responsible for alcohol-related incidents. Sometimes, even if you don’t sell alcohol, you might host private events where alcohol is consumed.
For example:
Your restaurant rents space for a birthday party, and the guests bring in their own drinks. If something happens, you may still be involved in liability questions.
Liquor liability coverage helps protect your restaurant from claims that can arise if a guest is injured or causes damage after consuming alcohol on your premises.
Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance: Delivery Without the Worry
Delivery has become a popular way for restaurants to serve customers, but it can create complicated insurance gaps. Even if your business doesn’t own any vehicles, you can still be at risk:
- Hired Auto: If you rent or lease vehicles for delivery or errands.
- Non-Owned Auto: If employees use their own cars for work-related tasks, such as dropping off a catering order or picking up supplies.
Here’s a scenario:
One of your employees is delivering a takeout order in their personal vehicle and gets into an accident. Your business may be drawn into an insurance claim, even if the car doesn’t belong to you.
Hired and non-owned auto insurance helps safeguard your restaurant in these situations by providing liability coverage for vehicles you don’t own.
