2. Commercial Property Insurance: It covers damage to your restaurant’s physical property, such as the building, equipment, and furniture.
3. Business Interruption Insurance: This covers lost income due to events that disrupt the operation of your restaurant, such as power outages or natural disasters.
4. Food Contamination Insurance: It deals with recalls or other issues related to contaminated food. It covers, for example, if a refrigerator breaks down or if a customer gets sick after eating at your restaurant.
