Hospitality Insurance
Generally speaking, hospitality businesses have some of the highest risk exposure of any SME, because they deal with the public, food, alcohol, staff, equipment, and cash — often all at once.

What insurance do you need?
A breakdown of the 9 critical coverage areas for cafés, restaurants, and bars.
Public Liability
COVERS:
  • Injury to customers (slips, trips, falls)
  • Property damage caused by business
  • Food poisoning & allergic reactions
Why it's critical: Constant foot traffic means one incident can lead to a six-figure claim.
Typical Limits: $10M or $20M
Essential
Business Property
COVERS:
  • Fit-out (kitchen, bar, seating)
  • Equipment (ovens, fridges, coffee machines)
  • Stock (food & beverages)
Why it matters: You rely on physical assets. Damage or loss can stop trading immediately.
Business Interruption
COVERS:
  • Loss of income during forced closure
  • Ongoing expenses (rent, wages)
  • Closures due to insured events (fire, storm)
Why it matters: Even a short closure without cash flow can be fatal to a hospitality business.
Workers Compensation
COVERS:
  • Employee injuries arising from work
  • Work-related illnesses
Mandatory: Required by law in Australia if you employ staff—including casuals.
Required
Theft & Money
COVERS:
  • Theft of stock or equipment
  • Cash stolen from premises
  • Cash stolen during banking transit
Why it matters: Hospitality venues are targets because they often handle cash and high-value stock.
Glass Insurance
COVERS:
  • Accidental breakage of shopfronts
  • Internal glass breakage
Why it matters: Glass damage is frequent in venues and requires expensive, immediate replacement.
Machinery Breakdown
COVERS:
  • Sudden mechanical failure
  • Electrical failure of equipment
Why it matters: Equipment failure can shut down a kitchen even if there is no external damage.
Recommended
Management Liability
COVERS:
  • Claims against directors & officers
  • Employment practices (e.g., unfair dismissal)
Why it matters: Staff disputes and high turnover are very common in the hospitality sector.
Liquor Liability
COVERS:
  • Claims arising from the service of alcohol
  • Intoxication-related incidents
Important: Alcohol service must be disclosed. Standard policies often exclude this unless specified.
Typical Package
Most cafés, restaurants, and bars require a combined package to ensure no gaps in coverage.
Standard Inclusion Checklist:
  • Public Liability
  • Property & Contents
  • Business Interruption
  • Theft / Money
  • Glass
  • Workers Comp (Separate Policy)
