Obtaining Insurance Certifactes For Your Restaurant

Being a restaurant owner involves juggling a lot of responsibilities. You’ll have to make sure that your restaurant operates efficiently and profitably while ensuring your meals are up to code and your workers are properly trained. But these roles are more flashy than some of the other behind-the-scenes work that has to happen. Obtaining insurance certificates for your restaurant is one of the most important - and necessary - things you can do for it. We tell you everything you need to know about the process before you start below!

What Coverages Do You Need?

The first step to obtaining insurance certificates for your restaurant is determining which coverages you need - and how much they’ll cost! Some of the types of coverage your restaurant will need include:

Liability insurance
Workers’ compensation
Food contamination insurance
Property insurance

There are more on this list that will be specific to your restaurant, and insurance requirements for these establishments vary from state to state. You can expect the above four to be universal across every state.

Knowing The Basics

Getting the best quotes from insurance companies requires you to have in-depth knowledge about your business. This includes the specifics of your building’s design, projected sales and revenue for a given period, the number of employees you have under your wing, and how valuable your restaurant’s equipment is. Having this information will allow you to compare quotes with those that other restaurants received and get the best coverage for your establishment. Once you’ve received proper coverage, you’re almost ready to get the certificate!

Obtaining The Actual Certificate

Once you have the proper insurance coverage, the next step is to receive a certificate of insurance. This is a document that proves that your restaurant has insurance coverage. After you’ve done the heavy lifting of obtaining insurance coverage, getting the certificate itself is pretty easy! You can fill out your application online and expect it to be mailed to your restaurant within a few weeks. If you need the certificate more urgently, there are a few online programs that can get you the certificate faster.
