Three questions to ask about your coverage

1. What could go wrong? For limited-service restaurants, it’s often counter-line slips, hot beverage burns, drive-thru and parking lot trips, and food safety complaints. Fast turnover means a lot of foot traffic, and every visitor is a possible liability claim.

2. Do I need GL or a BOP? General liability handles third-party bodily injury, property damage and (for most classes) personal and advertising injury, with per-occurrence limits of $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M. A BOP adds property and business income protection. A BOP protects fryers, coolers, signage and stock, adds business income after a covered loss, and the restaurant endorsement can respond to spoilage and contamination.

3. Will my business qualify? The same food-service limits apply: no bar or nightclub operations, live entertainment, dance floors, BYOB, bouncers or liquor above 50% of sales, and no hired/non-owned auto when employees deliver in personal vehicles. Coterie generally accepts businesses with up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, limited losses in the past five years and no prior cancellations. Startups and home-based businesses can qualify too.
