Restaurant Insurance
That Knows the Trade
Independents, chains, fast-casual, fine dining — KTL writes restaurant insurance shaped by people who understand foodservice realities.
"KTL delivered a restaurant insurance program in days — and the dedicated specialist made it feel personal."
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.
