Restaurant and Cafe Insurance

A restaurant runs on three things that can all fail expensively: the food, the fit-out and the trade itself. A customer illness, a kitchen fire that shuts you for weeks, a fridge that spoils a night's stock — hospitality insurance has to cover the food, the premises and the income together. We place cover built for how a kitchen actually runs.

What restaurants and cafes insurance covers

Public & products liability

For a customer injured on your premises and — critically — for illness traced to the food you serve. The cover a landlord and the trade require.

Fit-out, equipment & stock

Your fit-out, kitchen equipment and stock against fire, breakdown and spoilage, plus glass — the pieces that cost the most to replace.

Business interruption

The income you lose and the costs you carry when a fire, flood or breakdown closes the doors. Often the difference between a setback and closing for good.

Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.

FAQ

Restaurants and cafes insurance questions.

Speak with our team on 1300 080 323.

What insurance does a restaurant or cafe need?
Public and products liability including food-borne illness, cover for your fit-out, equipment and stock, glass, and business interruption for a forced closure. We build the mix around your kitchen, your fit-out and your trade.
Does it cover food poisoning claims?
It should — products liability responds to illness traced to the food you serve, which is a hospitality-specific exposure a generic policy can miss. We make sure food-borne illness is covered, not excluded.
What about stock spoilage if the fridge fails?
Cover for stock spoilage from a refrigeration breakdown or power failure is available and worth having in hospitality, where a failure can spoil a lot of stock overnight. We make sure it's on the policy rather than assumed.
