What is hospitality insurance?

The hospitality industry is wide-ranging with many diverse sectors and a wide range of employees and skillsets. Regardless of whether you run a restaurant, hotel or spa – you will need insurance coverage. Hospitality insurance includes coverages for property, crime, equipment breakdown, personal liability and more depending on the business.

With so many variables within the hospitality industry, your insurance need will differ based on the nature of your business. Our hospitality insurance brokers will work with you to decide what type of coverage your business requires and develop quotes to fit your budget.

Who needs hospitality insurance?

Anyone who has worked in the hospitality sector can tell you that there is a lot to think about at any given moment, regardless of whether you’re running anything from a food truck to a full-scale resort. Unfortunately, this means that there’s a lot that can go wrong.

Businesses related to lodging and accommodation, as well as the food service industry, require hospitality insurance. Hospitality insurance is important and relevant for the following types of businesses:

  • Restaurants
  • Cafes
  • Bakeries
  • Takeaways
  • Mobile Food Trucks
  • Catering Companies
  • Hotels
  • Motels
  • Resorts & Spas
  • Bed & Breakfasts

Insurance for accommodation and food service industries

There are numerous different types of insurance coverages in the hospitality industry. The most common ones include:

  • Commercial General liability – covers property damage, injuries and potential legal expenses caused by negligent acts by yourself or an employee.
  • Property Damage – protects your businesses physical assets that include equipment, tools, inventory, materials and more.
  • Product Liability – you can be held liable if a product that you make causes harm to someone or their property. Product liability coverage helps you cover legal expenses and damages for any potential lawsuits.
  • Business Interruption – if you are forced to stop operations due to unforeseen circumstances, this coverage can help you by providing funds so you can continue to pay the essentials while you wait for the work to continue.
  • Equipment Breakdown – since most equipment breakdowns aren’t under regular property insurance coverage, equipment breakdown insurance ensures that you will have coverage for repairs and replacement if something breaks.
  • Liquor Liability – if there is a liquor-related incident this coverage can help protect you in the event of a lawsuit.
  • Special Events Coverage – typically includes third-party property damage and bodily injury, medical payment, non-owned auto, food and beverage products, employees/volunteers and cross liability protection. It can be purchased as add-on coverage, or it may be included as part of your commercial general liability coverage.
  • Cancellation Coverage – if an event is cancelled, postponed or interrupted this coverage can help recoup potential financial losses.
