Hospitality Insurance Claim Example
What Happens When a Restaurant Kitchen Fire Stops Trading?
A kitchen fire can cause more than damage to the equipment. Smoke, heat and water can affect the kitchen, stock and other parts of the premises, and the business may need to close while repairs are carried out.
Depending on the policy, different sections of insurance may respond:
Property & Equipment
May cover damage to the building, fit-out, kitchen equipment and other business property following an insured event.
Stock & Food Spoilage
May cover food and other stock damaged by an insured event, subject to the policy.
Business Interruption
May help cover lost income and ongoing business expenses when an insured event prevents the business from trading.
The amount and period of cover need to reflect how your business operates.
Review Your Hospitality Insurance at Renewal
Has Anything Changed Since Your Last Renewal?
Before renewing, it’s worth checking whether your business, assets or costs have changed.
Things such as higher turnover, new equipment, changes to your premises, outdoor seating, different cooking methods, more staff or new services can affect your insurance.
At Ideal Insurance Brokers, we can review your cover at renewal and check that it still reflects how your business operates.
