Serving Liability Insurance

Restaurants can experience an increase in vulnerability to lawsuits and other liabilities, perhaps more than other small business ventures. There are many risks in the restaurant industry that should have you considering restaurant insurance as a necessity. Kitchens can be dangerous environments.  Large numbers of clients can pose increased risks. The spoilage of food can threaten your business. A susceptibility to property damage can harm your bank account. With these obvious risk factors, a coverage that is tailored to your business’ needs can help protect you against and prevent imminent financial situations.

Business Owners Policy

For restaurant insurance, this includes a comprehensive collection of basic insurance plans. Of our basic insurance plans, there is a Business Owners Policy (BOP), which lumps both liability coverage and commercial property into one, inclusive policy. A BOP cuts costs of your insurance rates and is a fairly common strategy for restaurants to protect their assets as well as making it easy to purchase additional coverages for your small business. Additional coverage can include general and product liability, liquor liability insurance, excess liability insurance and employment practices liability insurance.

The first word that springs to mind in thinking of our insurance needs that Rachel helps us with would be “comfort”. It is very comforting for us to know that Rachel is readily available whenever we have any questions regarding our insurance coverage. The second would be “confidence”. Rachel’s compassion and diligence give us great confidence in her ability to handle anything that we may need in regard to our insurance coverages. At this point in out lives, we can’t imagine having anyone else handling our insurance needs!
