If you sell liquor, then Liquor Liability Insurance is required. These policies are vital to Texas bars, nightclubs, brewpubs, and for any restaurant that sells liquor. Texas’ dram shop liability laws – part of the state’s Alcohol Beverage Code – hold servers responsible for alcohol-related injuries and accidents. This applies when a bartender or waiter serves a minor, or over-serves any intoxicated customer. Drunk driving accidents are the most common application of this law, but many scenarios are possible. For example, after a 2010 bar brawl between a wedding party and a fraternity reunion at a Lake Conroe resort, the Texas Supreme Court held the resort bar liable for $1.5 million in damages.

This policy covers a restaurant’s delivery or food trucks. This is Texas, and food trucks are popular in nearly every major city, not just Austin! Food truck insurance is unique in that it combines vehicle insurance with a more comprehensive business owner policy.

More than 250 different foodborne illnesses are known to scientists. A 2016 salmonella outbreak in Odessa closed a Mexican restaurant after 20 diners got sick. Coverage add-ons like Food Spoilage Insurance can help a restaurant weather a similar crisis. It can also cover a loss of inventory, due to food that spoils or goes past the due date.

Restaurants and bars face many factors beyond their control. What if profits plummet because of ongoing road construction in front of your restaurant? Loss of Revenue Insurance can keep you afloat.
