What Restaurant & Bar Owners Worry About Most

Running a food and beverage business means navigating constant risk — but you’re not alone. These are the concerns we hear every day from owners and managers across Los Angeles County and beyond.

  • “What happens if a customer slips during a busy dinner rush?”



  • “Am I properly covered if an alcohol-related incident occurs?”

  • “Does my lease require special insurance wording or certain liability limits?”

  • “How do I protect myself if food spoils after a power outage?”

  • “Does workers’ comp cover kitchen injuries like burns or cuts?”

These questions are normal — and solvable with the right guidance.

Your Restaurant & Bar Insurance Questions, Answered

  • Do I need liquor liability if I only serve beer and wine?

    Yes. If you serve alcohol of any kind, liquor liability is essential. It protects you from claims involving intoxication-related incidents and is often a lease requirement in California.

  • Are bars with late-night hours or live entertainment harder to insure?

    They can be — but we specialize in placing higher-risk hospitality accounts. Even if you’ve been declined elsewhere or had prior claims, we work with carriers who understand nightlife venues.

  • Does my policy cover food spoilage?

    Most standard policies exclude spoilage unless you add the coverage. We help ensure you have the right protection for refrigerated goods, especially during power outages or equipment failures.

  • What insurance do landlords usually require?

    Many require specific liability limits, additional insured endorsements, and waiver wording — especially in Glendale, Pasadena, and LA. We handle certificate requests quickly, often within hours.

  • Can you insure ghost kitchens or delivery-only concepts?

    Yes. Coverage is available for virtual restaurants, shared kitchens, and delivery-heavy operations.
