Frequently Asked Questions

What insurance do I need for my restaurant in Florida?

At minimum, you need general liability, workers compensation, and commercial property. Most restaurants benefit from a Business Owners Policy (BOP) which bundles property and liability. If you serve alcohol, you also need liquor liability. Many landlords require proof of insurance before leasing space.

Does restaurant insurance cover food spoilage?

Yes, many commercial property policies cover food spoilage caused by power outages or equipment breakdown. However, standard policies may have limits. Consider adding equipment breakdown coverage for your walk-in coolers, freezers, and HVAC systems.

How much does restaurant insurance cost?

Costs vary based on your type of restaurant, number of employees, revenue, and coverage needs. Most small restaurants pay $3,000-8,000/year. Full-service restaurants with alcohol typically pay more. We shop multiple carriers to find competitive rates.

Do I need liquor liability insurance?

If you serve or sell alcohol, you need liquor liability insurance. Florida dram shop laws hold restaurants liable for damages caused by intoxicated patrons. Many commercial general liability policies exclude liquor liability, so a separate policy or endorsement is typically required.
