Property and an interruption to service
A covered property loss can damage your kitchen and interrupt sales. Review property limits, business income, extra expense, applicable waiting periods, and how long income protection can last.

Restaurant Insurance in Austin & Across Texas
A restaurant combines property, people, food service, equipment, and sometimes alcohol sales or delivery. Your coverage conversation should reflect your menu, service model, premises, and plans for growth.
Discuss your coverage ↗Coverage for the kitchen, the dining room, and the business behind them.
Equipment and refrigerated inventory
Mechanical breakdown and food spoilage are not interchangeable with ordinary property coverage. Ask about equipment breakdown, spoilage, utility interruption, exclusions, and the conditions that trigger coverage.
Guests, alcohol, and delivery
Customer injuries, food-related claims, alcohol service, and deliveries present different liability exposures. Discuss general liability, liquor liability where applicable, and owned, hired, or non-owned auto use.
Questions to discuss with Brian
- Do you serve alcohol, cater, host events, or deliver food?
- What equipment and refrigerated inventory would be costly to replace?
- Could you keep operating elsewhere after a covered loss?
What to have ready for a quote
You can start a conversation even if you do not have every detail yet. These items help make the review more useful.
- Sales, payroll, seating, and hours of operation
- Alcohol sales and delivery or catering details
- Lease insurance requirements, equipment values, and current policies
A common coverage question
Does property insurance automatically cover spoiled food?
Do not assume so. Spoilage protection can depend on a specific coverage form, covered cause of loss, equipment maintenance, and utility-service terms. Review the cause of loss and applicable limits.
