The legal responsibilities of food and beverage service businesses are rather unique. On top of liability and property concerns, owners face risks related to food safety, liquor sales, etc. At Tabak Insurance, restaurateurs can get the protection they need from a company with industry expertise. We offer a variety of insurance packages to suit individual needs. Reach out today to learn more about how we can help protect your business with bar or restaurant insurance.
General liability
General liability insurance for restaurants protects business owners in the event that a third party (e.g., a customer or vendor) brings a claim against them for things like property damage, injury, negligence, and libel. This insurance type can also provide coverage for legal fees or medical expenses should the need arise. Many commercial food establishments are required to have this type of restaurant insurance policy.
Liquor liability
Liquor liability insurance protects businesses from being liable for certain actions of individuals who become intoxicated by drinking alcohol served or sold in your establishment (e.g., drunk driving). Serving alcohol carries a risk for restaurant owners, and liquor liability insurance is often required in order to obtain a liquor license. Actual coverage may vary by state and policy.
Property Insurance
Restaurant commercial property insurance covers losses related to income, crime, equipment damage, food contamination, certain weather, and other kinds of damage to business property. This coverage is customizable — you can choose a named perils or open perils package.
Worker’s Compensation
Workers’ compensation insurance for restaurants provides financial compensation to employees who have been injured or made ill at work. This insurance type is often a requirement for businesses that retain employees. Workers’ comp covers lost wages and medical costs, protecting the employer from negligence lawsuits.
Business Owners Policy (BOP)
BOP insurance is an overarching policy that contains all necessary coverage types and which can be customized to suit the needs of the business. This package includes general liability, commercial property, and business interruption insurance.
Directors and Officers (D&O)
Protects businesses if an executive is sued individually for wrongdoing at work. If a joint owner of a bar is sued for something he did as a bartender, D&O insurance would protect the other owner and the business itself.
Errors and Omissions (E&O)
The errors and omissions policy protects businesses against claims of loss due to professional error. Some of these professional errors may include inaccurate expert advice, inadequate results, or claims of negligence. A claim that a catering company failed to perform as promised would fall under E&O coverage.
