Business Insurance

Restaurant & Hospitality

Kitchens, dining rooms, delivery and the liquor licence behind the bar.

What this cover does

Hospitality concentrates several awkward exposures in a small footprint: open flame, slip hazards, perishable stock, high staff turnover and alcohol. Cover is packaged around that combination rather than bought line by line.

Typically included

  • Property including kitchen equipment, fit-out and stock
  • General liability for guests and visitors
  • Spoilage cover for refrigerated stock after an outage
  • Business interruption while closed for repairs
  • Workers compensation for kitchen and front-of-house staff
  • Hired and non-owned auto for deliveries

Common add-ons

  • Liquor liability where alcohol is served
  • Equipment breakdown on refrigeration and cooking plant
  • Food-borne illness and contamination cover
  • Assault and battery cover for late-licence venues
  • Outdoor dining and sidewalk extensions

Questions

What people ask about restaurant

Is spoiled stock covered?

Only with spoilage cover. A power cut with no physical damage to your own property will not trigger a standard property claim, and a walk-in freezer of stock is a real number.

Do delivery drivers need separate cover?

Yes. Employees delivering in their own cars create non-owned auto exposure, and a personal policy will usually exclude delivery work.
