Industry Coverage
Insurance for Texas Restaurants
Restaurants and cafes run on thin margins, a hot kitchen, and a steady stream of guests through the front door. We package the coverage Texas food service operators actually need, from equipment breakdown to delivery driver liability, at a price that protects your bottom line.
The Risk You Carry Every Day
A grease fire in the kitchen, a foodborne illness claim, or a delivery driver accident can wipe out a year of profit. Landlords and third-party delivery platforms also require proof of specific coverage before you can open your doors or list your menu.
Kitchen fires & equipment
Grease fires and equipment breakdown in the kitchen can close your doors for weeks and cost thousands to repair.
Food contamination & spoilage
A foodborne illness claim or a cooler failure can destroy your reputation and your inventory in the same week.
Slip & fall injuries
Spilled drinks, wet floors near the kitchen pass, and crowded dining rooms make slip-and-fall claims a daily risk.
Delivery driver accidents
Whether you run your own drivers or use third-party delivery apps, an accident during a delivery run can leave you exposed without the right auto coverage.

Restaurants & Hospitality Insurance FAQs
Most restaurants need a business owners policy (BOP) combining general liability and property, plus workers compensation for kitchen and front-of-house staff. Equipment breakdown and food spoilage coverage are strongly recommended for any commercial kitchen.
If your staff deliver orders in company or personal vehicles, you need commercial auto or hired and non-owned auto liability, since your personal auto policy will not cover a delivery run. If you use third-party delivery apps instead, we can review what gaps remain on your end.
A small cafe may pay $150–$300 per month for a BOP, while a full-service kitchen with delivery drivers and higher payroll pays more. Pricing depends on sales, seating capacity, and location. We compare carriers to lower your cost.
Only if you carry spoilage or equipment breakdown coverage. We routinely add these to restaurant policies because a single walk-in cooler failure can cost thousands in lost inventory.
General liability generally responds to foodborne illness claims from third parties, subject to your policy terms. We review exclusions so you know exactly where you stand.
