Our Excalibur Insurance Brokers might ask a lot of questions – for good reason.
Given the wide variety of procedures and means of being involved in the food & beverage industry there are unique risks and exposures you face. Professionals who work in the Food & Beverage industry tend to be some of the most invested business owners of any industry and are often passionate and mindful of delivering the highest quality experience possible to their consumers. Unfortunately, there are plenty of challenges that come with working in the Food & Beverage service industry. Once identified, these can be adequately managed with proper risk management procedures and business insurance coverage.
There are a few areas of concern you may want to consider when reviewing your coverage as a food & beverage provider. While we will review specific coverages below these main categories are especially relevant to your industry.
Risk Management for Food & Beverage Professionals
As a food service professional, you are working directly with clients – and their health. Having a understanding of what risks your industry may face and how it affects both you, your team, and your operations will help you focus on “Will this taste amazing’s” and not “What if’s”
- Property
The first and most common exposures any Food & Beverage enterprise may be faced with. In businesses where food is kept refrigerated or frozen, a power outage may result in food spoilage or equipment/mechanical failure. Natural disasters, fires, heavy snowfall, and hail are all prevalent issues. Slips and falls, burns, and general premises liability injuries to third-parties, employees, and customers are another exposure. Restaurants or businesses where food is being heated and prepared may face exposure to fire damage due to frequented use of open flames and combustible appliances. Appliances and machinery that are connected to water lines may also be exposed to the risk of sewer backup, blockage, or pipe rupture. - Crime
Is another exposure that Food & Beverage industry businesses are exposed to, especially due to the frequented usage of cash and the constant in-and-out flow. Thieves may not only come from external sources but could also be employees and guests. Supplies, equipment, and merchandise may also be exposed to the risk of crime. Depending on where the business is located and when it operates, it may be at higher or lower exposure to theft. - Equipment Breakdown
is also prevalent to the Food & Beverage industry, especially businesses that require cooking appliances, refrigeration units, and more. Not only could the breakdown of equipment and machinery result in a stall in business interruptions or a prolonged closure, but it could cause property damage or even bodily injury to employees and guests.

While you may not need all the coverages listed below, it’s worth getting familiar with the ways your business can protect itself. A well protected business is a reliable one – able to confidently craft the next taste sensation without fear.
