Protect Your Restaurant From Key Liabilities
​
Running a restaurant comes with unique risks that can threaten the business you’ve worked so hard to build. At River East Insurance, we understand the challenges you face and offer tailored coverage to protect you from the unexpected.
​
Food Liabilities
​
Food contamination or spoilage can disrupt operations, harm your customers, and put your reputation at risk. In severe cases, it could lead to costly legal claims or significant financial losses. Our specialized restaurant insurance helps safeguard your business from these risks, covering losses related to spoiled or contaminated food.
​
Employee Liabilities
​
The restaurant environment is fast-paced and full of potential hazards, from sharp knives and hot surfaces to slippery floors. If an employee is injured on the job, you could be held liable. Workers' Compensation Insurance ensures your employees’ medical expenses and lost wages are covered, protecting you from liability.
​
Additionally, workplace issues like harassment, discrimination, or wrongful termination can also pose risks. Employment Practices Liability Insurance provides legal protection and financial support in handling claims, helping you maintain a safe and compliant workplace.
​
Liquor Liabilities
​
If you serve alcohol, liquor liability is a serious consideration. Intoxicated customers can lead to property damage, injuries, or legal issues that could jeopardize your business. Our coverage helps protect you from financial losses tied to alcohol-related incidents, giving you peace of mind as you serve responsibly.
​
Commercial Auto Liabilities
​
If your restaurant offers delivery services, whether with company vehicles or employee-owned cars, accidents can happen. Without proper commercial auto insurance, you could face significant expenses for damages or injuries. Our policies provide the protection you need to keep your delivery services running smoothly.
​
Cyber Liabilities
​
Today’s restaurants rely on technology for everything from processing payments to managing reservations. Unfortunately, this can make you vulnerable to cyberattacks. If hackers access your customers’ payment or personal information, it could result in lawsuits and financial losses. Cyber liability coverage protects your restaurant against data breaches, helping you recover quickly while safeguarding your reputation.
