Submitted by carol on Fri, 10/30/2009 - 12:16
If you have a restaurant you will need restaurant insurance to protect your business from being badly affected from an accident. Some times there may be unruly customers in your restaurant and some of you may want to protect the different signs and paintings within your restaurant.  You may have different needs for protection, but one common word in all of this is ‘protection’ which insurance can give you. Insurance companies have different policies and hence it is difficult to get a uniform insurance quote for all restaurants. However, based on the amount of business you do and the amount of investment you are ready to make, you may get the best insurance quote to suit your needs. Factors that affect restaurant insurance quotes:
  • Your working associates: Consider the people you will be working with. Think about if these people need to be protected from unruly customers or under any other circumstance. Look for an insurance that fits this purpose.
  • Location of the restaurant: Location is a very important determinant of the quote that you would receive for your restaurant. Whether you are located in the outskirts or the central business area, whether your restaurant is located near the sea, if your restaurant suffers from black outs, all of these may be considered before you are offered any insurance quote. Frequent blackouts may result in spoilt food, being near a water body may cause things in your restaurant to rust faster. Hence, insurance companies will consider all these factors before drawing up an insurance quote.
  • Food served: Although you may not like to think of this, but it might so happen that you may have to lose business for a few days due to a food contamination of your customer. You must be on the safe side to be able to protect yourself in a situation like this.
  • Kind of customers: the type of people you cater to will also help in determining the quotes you will receive. There may be accidents or harassment that might bring down profit levels. Insurance will cover these.
Based on what you want for your restaurant, your insurance company will provide you a suitable quote. Some of you may even be looking for catering insurance in case you agree to cater for a party. You may like to discuss stuff with your friends and other advisers. Speak with friends and seek their opinion but start with enough coverage.
