Liability Insurance + Starbucks & Its Growing Union + Hotel Kitchens + Refrigerators & Freezers

While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every small business, restaurants were one of the hardest-hit industries. According to the National Restaurant Association, estimates of restaurants forced to temporarily or permanently close due to a labor shortage, revenue loss, and restrictions on business interactions and reduced capacity during the pandemic reached over 110,000. Many restaurant operators have looked to their insurance policies for protection during this period of business interruption, but most policies don’t meet their anticipated coverage. Added restrictions, guidelines and recommendations for restaurants have continuously changed since the start of the pandemic, forcing owners to be even more efficient and resourceful to meet customers’ needs and keep their businesses afloat. However, these challenging times in the industry have forced restaurants to rethink and improve not only their business strategies, but also their risk control, best practices, and safety measures to protect both their employees and customers.
