Restaurant insurance & food and beverage business insurance
If your business serves food or alcohol, you know that there's no way to predict what can go wrong on the job. A team member could burn their hand. A fire could break out in the kitchen and destroy some of your equipment. One of your employees could serve too much alcohol to a customer, who then destroys someone else’s property with their vehicle.
The common denominator of all these situations? Unless you have a reliable restaurant and bar insurance program, you may get stuck with the legal liability and the bill.
Here are some of the restaurant and bar specialties Huckleberry covers:
- Bars & taverns
- Fast food franchises
- Lounges
- Pizzerias
- Sandwich shops
- Delis
- Diners
- Cafes and coffee shops
- Food delivery services
- Commercial kitchens
No matter your specialty or restaurant needs, you can rest assured that a restaurant or commercial kitchen insurance policy through Huckleberry can help keep your restaurant or bar protected in most situations (and save you a lot of time and money).
And don’t forget that you can add a restaurant endorsement to your Business Owner’s Policy. This add-on will help ensure that you’re covered for food spoilage, food contamination, and other insurance needs specific to the restaurant industry.

Restaurant insurance Q&A
What types of insurance are necessary for your restaurant? Well, while there isn’t a single blanket policy that will cover all the risks a restaurant owner faces, you’ll need workers’ compensation, which is required by law in most states.
You should also consider purchasing a Business Owner’s Policy—which includes general liability insurance, commercial property insurance, and business interruption insurance. (Don’t want a BOP? Purchase at least general liability and business property insurance.) Other optional add-ons to a BOP include commercial auto insurance, equipment breakdown coverage, business income coverage, and more—all of which may be relevant to your business.
Finally, don’t forget a liquor liability policy if you serve alcohol.
