FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What insurance does a café need?
A café may need a combination of public and products liability, property and contents, leasehold fit-out, glass, theft, machinery breakdown, refrigerated stock deterioration and business interruption cover. Cyber, commercial motor, management liability and workers compensation may also be relevant depending on your operations, staff and delivery activities.
Does café insurance include public and products liability?
Public and products liability can be included in a café insurance package. It may respond to claims involving customer slips and falls, third-party property damage, food poisoning or allergic reactions caused by products you serve, subject to policy terms, exclusions and the selected liability limit.
Are coffee machines and refrigerated stock covered?
Machinery breakdown cover may protect insured coffee machines, grinders, cool rooms, refrigerators, freezers and other equipment against sudden mechanical or electrical failure. Refrigerated stock deterioration can sometimes be included for food spoiled following an insured breakdown. Wear and tear, poor maintenance and gradual deterioration are generally excluded.
Does café insurance cover business interruption?
Business interruption insurance may cover lost gross profit, ongoing expenses and additional operating costs when insured property damage prevents your café from trading. The triggering event, gross profit sum insured, waiting period and indemnity period must be selected carefully because they determine how the cover responds.
Is glass or public liability insurance required under a café lease?
Insurance is not automatically required for every café, but a commercial lease may require specified public liability limits and cover for internal or external glass. Requirements vary between landlords and leases, so your lease should be checked and the policy certificate and schedule should match the obligations you have accepted.
