Restaurant Coverage
Engineered for the Trade
Restaurant insurance isn't just a BOP — it's a coordinated program covering GL with patron exposure, liquor liability for alcohol service, property for high-value kitchen equipment, workers' comp at restaurant-trade rates, and business interruption for the inevitable closure. KTL writes restaurant programs for independents, small chains, and franchisees with carriers that actually understand the cyclic, low-margin realities of foodservice.
- A-Rated Carriers OnlyWe place coverage only with A-rated insurers, so claims get paid without drama.
- Re-Shopped Every RenewalEvery renewal is re-shopped across the market — competitive pricing with no coverage shortcuts.

Same-day turnaround is the norm — most restaurant insurance quotes come back within business hours. Call (858) 350-0555 or use the online form and a KTL specialist will follow up with binding-ready options.
Since 2002, more than 1,000 businesses have trusted KTL. Every policy is placed with an A-rated carrier, re-shopped at renewal, and managed by a specialist who knows your account personally.
Yes. We exclusively place coverage with insurers rated "A" (Excellent) or better by AM Best. This ensures financial strength to pay claims and provides peace of mind that your coverage will be there when you need it.
No — liquor liability is a separate policy or endorsement required for any business serving alcohol. KTL includes a liquor liability quote on every restaurant binder so you're never surprised at renewal.
Yes — general liability includes products liability, which covers bodily injury claims from food contamination or foodborne illness. Spoilage of your inventory from refrigeration failure is covered separately.
