Restaurant insurance FAQ
Do I need liquor liability if I only serve beer and wine?
Generally yes — liquor liability applies to any business serving alcohol, not just full bars, and is often required by landlords or local permits.
Does general liability cover food poisoning claims?
It can, depending on the policy — this is why food contamination/product liability coverage is worth reviewing specifically rather than assuming standard GL covers it.
What if I operate a food truck instead of a fixed location?
Mobile food businesses need a similar mix of coverage, often paired with commercial auto insurance for the vehicle itself.
