Bar and Restaurant Insurance Coverages

Running a bar or restaurant comes with unique risks, from customer injuries to property damage and liquor liability. Bar and restaurant insurance provides comprehensive protection to ensure your business stays secure, no matter what challenges arise. Here are the most common coverages included in these policies:

  • Protects your business from claims of bodily injury or property damage, such as a customer slipping and falling or accidental damage to a patron’s property.

  • Covers claims related to alcohol service, including incidents involving intoxicated patrons causing injury or damage to others. Many states require this coverage for businesses serving alcohol.

  • Protects your building, equipment, inventory, and furniture from risks like fire, theft, or vandalism. Essential for safeguarding your physical assets.

  • Reimburses lost income and ongoing expenses if your bar or restaurant must temporarily close due to a covered event, like a fire or natural disaster.

  • Covers repair or replacement costs for essential equipment, like ovens, refrigeration units, or dishwashers, if they unexpectedly fail.

  • Protects against financial losses due to spoiled food resulting from power outages or equipment failure, helping to cover replacement costs and loss of income.

  • Offers protection if an employee is caught stealing cash, inventory, or equipment, safeguarding your bottom line.

  • Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) protects your business from claims related to wrongful employment practices, such as discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, or wage disputes. With lawsuits on the rise, EPLI ensures you're covered for legal fees, settlements, and damages, safeguarding your business and reputation.
