Why Restaurants Need Commercial Property Coverage

Restaurant Insurance is a tailored package of policies designed to protect businesses in the hospitality industry.

At its core, Commercial Property Insurance protects your restaurant's physical assets, including your building, kitchen equipment and inventory.

It helps ensure that the things keeping your restaurant running are protected against damage, theft or loss from events like fires, storms or vandalism.

RISK ANALYSIS

Why Does It Matter to Restaurants?

Restaurants rely heavily on kitchen equipment, dining furniture and stock of ingredients. Damage to these can halt operations, costing you revenue and customers.<br><br>Here's why Restaurant Insurance matters:

01

High-Value Assets: Commercial kitchens are packed with expensive equipment like ovens, fridges and grills. A single fire or flood could result in thousands of dollars in losses.

02

Frequent Risks: Restaurants deal with fire hazards, water damage from plumbing issues and theft, all of which can disrupt your business.

03

Revenue Protection: If your restaurant can't operate due to property damage, you could lose income. Insurance can help cover these losses, keeping your business afloat.

04

Lease and Regulatory Requirements: Some leases or local regulations may require you to have Commercial Property Insurance to operate. Beyond compliance, this cover protects your investment in the business you've built.

PROTECTION SCOPE

What Does Restaurant Insurance Cover?

Here's what Restaurant Insurance can cover:

A kitchen fire can destroy equipment, furniture and even the building itself. Insurance covers repair or replacement costs.

Heavy storms or burst pipes can flood your restaurant, damaging inventory and interiors.

From stolen stock to vandalised storefronts, insurance helps cover losses from criminal activity.

If a critical piece of equipment like a deep fryer or fridge fails due to a covered event, insurance can cover repair or replacement.

If damage forces you to close temporarily, this coverage can help replace lost income and cover ongoing expenses like rent.
