The restaurant industry has more liability exposure per square foot than almost any other business — and most policies don't reflect that reality.
Restaurant liquor liability claims average $75,000 in Arizona — and many restaurant policies are written with a $50,000 limit. When a guest overserves themselves and is involved in an accident, your liquor liability policy is the first line of defense. If the limit is too low, the rest comes from your personal assets.
If a kitchen fire, equipment failure, or health department closure forces you to stop serving, your fixed costs don't stop. Rent, staff, equipment leases — all continue. Business interruption coverage replaces lost revenue during the closure period. Many restaurant BOPs either exclude it or have inadequate waiting periods and limits.
Restaurants have the highest employment practices liability claims rate of any industry — driven by tipped wage disputes, harassment in close-quarters environments, and high staff turnover. Most restaurant insurance programs dramatically underinsure EPLI, or don't include it at all.
We review your liquor liability limits, business interruption coverage, and EPLI adequacy — comparing against current market benchmarks for Phoenix restaurants your size and service type. You get a plain-English report with every gap and dollar impact.
With Phoenix's restaurant industry growing alongside the metro's population boom, claim frequency and severity are both rising. A properly structured restaurant insurance program costs the same as a poorly structured one — the difference shows up when you have to use it.
