Coverage matched to your establishment

Your menu is only part of the insurance picture

A family restaurant, a late-night bar and a tavern with live entertainment do not present the same risks. We review how your establishment operates, including food and alcohol sales, hours, seating, entertainment, delivery, catering and property values.

Those details help us approach appropriate hospitality markets, pursue competitive options and explain important exclusions or conditions before you choose coverage.

Restaurant Insurance FAQ

Answers for Florida hospitality owners

What insurance does a Florida restaurant commonly need?

Needs vary by operation, but restaurants commonly consider General Liability, Commercial Property, Business Income, Equipment Breakdown, Workers’ Compensation and Cyber Liability. Restaurants serving alcohol should also review Liquor Liability. Coverage availability depends on underwriting and policy terms.

Do I need Liquor Liability if my restaurant or bar serves alcohol?

Liquor Liability is an important consideration for businesses that sell, serve or furnish alcohol. General Liability policies may exclude or limit alcohol-related claims when the insured is in the business of serving alcohol, so the policy and operation should be reviewed carefully.

Does restaurant insurance cover food spoilage or equipment breakdown?

Food spoilage and Equipment Breakdown coverage may be available by endorsement or as part of an eligible package. Limits, covered causes of loss, deductibles and exclusions vary by insurer and policy.

Can you insure restaurants with bars, live entertainment or late hours?

We can explore available markets for eligible operations. Insurers may review alcohol percentages, hours, entertainment, dancing, security, prior incidents and other details before determining eligibility, terms and pricing.

Is assault and battery coverage automatically included?

No. Assault and battery may be excluded, limited or offered subject to underwriting and additional premium. We help identify how the available policy addresses this exposure, but coverage must be confirmed in the policy forms and endorsements.

Can property, liability and liquor coverage be combined?

Eligible businesses may be able to combine several coverages in a package, while other operations may require separate policies. We review available options based on the building, contents, sales, alcohol exposure and requested limits.

What information is needed for a restaurant insurance quote?

We typically need the legal business name, location, years in business, annual food and alcohol sales, seating, hours, entertainment, delivery or catering details, property values, prior coverage and loss history. Additional information may be required.

Do you provide restaurant and bar insurance throughout Florida?

Yes. We assist eligible hospitality businesses throughout Florida from our West Palm Beach office, with service available in English and Spanish.
