What is Restaurant Insurance?

Restaurant owners invest a lot of resources into their eateries, and it’s important to protect the time and money they pour into their establishments. Without sufficient protection, everything a restaurant owner has poured into their eatery could be lost in a single, devastating incident. Restaurant insurance helps protect Massachusetts restaurants from many potential perils that could destroy a restaurateur’s hard work.

Restaurant insurance policies are specialized commercial policies that have been tailored to a restaurant’s particular needs. Most restaurant policies are package policies, combining several coverages into a single, convenient policy. Restaurant owners usually have the option to adjust these individual coverages as they need to.

What Types of Protections Do Restaurant Policies Offer?

Since restaurant owners are often able to adjust the coverages in their policies, the precise protections that policies offer can vary. Nevertheless, most policies provide a combination of restaurant liability insurance coverages and restaurant property insurance coverages.

What Coverages Can Restaurant Liability Insurance Provide?

Restaurant liability insurance coverages help protect a restaurant in various situations where it might be held responsible for injury, property damage, or other harm. What situation a policy provides protection for depends on the restaurant liability insurance coverages it contains:

• General Liability Coverage may offer protection for slips, falls and similar accidents
• Product Liability Coverage might provide protection if a restaurant’s dishes spread a food-borne disease
• Liquor Liability Coverage may offer protection for alcohol-related incidents
• Hired and Non-Owned Vehicle Coverage might provide liability coverage for delivery drivers who use their own vehicles to make deliveries
• Cyber Liability Coverage may offer protection for data breaches and online attacks
• Umbrella Liability Coverage might provide supplemental coverage in case a claim exceeds another coverage’s limits

What Coverages Can Restaurant Property Insurance Provide?

Restaurant property insurance coverages protect a restaurant’s property from certain types of damage. The property a policy covers depends on what property coverages the policy has:

• Building Coverage may insure a restaurant’s building
• Contents Coverage might insure a restaurant’s equipment, inventory, fixtures and other moveable items
• Food Contamination Coverage may insure a restaurant’s ingredients and foods from certain types of spoilage
• Equipment Breakdown Coverage might insure a restaurant’s equipment against certain types of breakdowns

Do Restaurants Need Building Coverage If They Lease a Space?

Restaurants generally only need building coverage if they own the building they’re in. Restaurants that lease a commercial space within a building typically don’t need this coverage. Instead, it’s normally the landlord’s responsibility to insure the building. (They might do this by getting a commercial property policy of their own.)
