Why this class matters to Coterie
Cafeterias, Grill Buffets, and Buffets ranks #31 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), so this is a business type Coterie actively writes.
Typical risks
For cafeterias and buffets, common claims include serving-line spills, burns from hot wells, and allergen or foodborne illness complaints. Guests, delivery drivers and vendors are in and out all day, and food safety complaints can turn into claims.
GL and BOP, explained
General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises.
A BOP covers kitchen equipment and stock, and the restaurant endorsement (spoilage and food contamination) was extended to more food-service classes in August 2025. A business owner’s policy combines liability, property and business income in one policy.
Before you quote
Bar or nightclub operations, live entertainment, dance floors, BYOB, door staff, and liquor above half of sales are outside the food-service appetite. Across all classes, Coterie generally accepts up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K) and no prior cancellations or non-renewals. Home-based and newer businesses are welcome.
