Review Triggers

Has Your Restaurant Changed?

Your insurance should keep up with your business.

It is worth reviewing your cover if you have:

  • Increased turnover
  • Bought new equipment
  • Renovated or upgraded the fit-out
  • Added outdoor dining
  • Changed cooking methods
  • Increased stock
  • Moved premises

Property values and replacement costs can also change over time, so older sums insured may no longer be appropriate.

Local Risk Consideration

Newcastle Restaurant Insurance & Flood

Flood can be an important consideration for some Newcastle and Hunter businesses.

It isn't automatically included in every policy, so if your property has potential flood exposure, it should be specifically discussed when reviewing your insurance.

Commercial Tenancies

Restaurant Insurance for Leased Premises

Many restaurants operate from leased premises.

Even if you don't own the building, you may have a significant investment in the fit-out, kitchen equipment, furniture and stock. Your lease may also set out specific insurance requirements.

Claims Support

Claims Support

When a restaurant has to close following an unexpected event, the financial impact can extend well beyond the physical damage.

Ideal Insurance Brokers can provide support through the claims process and help communicate with the insurer where appropriate.
