    What is Restaurant Insurance?

    The restaurant industry is ever-evolving and booming, with nearly 750,000 restaurant locations in the U.S. employing over 15 million workers. Nine out of ten restaurants are small businesses with fewer than 50 employees. Restaurant owners face challenges unique to their industry, such as broken appliances, spoiled food, and employee injuries from working in high-risk environments. Restaurant insurance helps business owners cover unexpected costs when things go wrong or accidents occur.
