What insurance does a franchise restaurant need?

Whatever the franchise agreement requires, typically liability at set limits, additional insured wording, workers compensation, and often cyber and umbrella, plus the underlying restaurant coverage.

Why does my franchisor ask for a certificate?

The agreement usually requires proof that you carry the specified coverage and name the franchisor as additional insured. We make sure your program matches and the certificate is accurate.

What happens if my coverage does not meet the agreement?

A coverage gap can put you in default of the franchise agreement. We compare your program to the requirements and flag any shortfalls before they become a problem.

Insurance for franchise restaurants.

Franchise restaurants operate under a brand that dictates much of the insurance: required limits, additional insured wording, specific coverages, and certificates. Getting your program to match the agreement is the whole game.

Franchise restaurant insurance is driven by the franchise agreement, which typically sets liability limits, additional insured and waiver requirements, and required coverages such as workers compensation, cyber, and umbrella, on top of the underlying restaurant exposure.

The agreement sets the requirements

A franchise agreement usually specifies minimum limits, names the franchisor as additional insured, and may require waivers, umbrella limits, and specific coverages. A mismatch can put you in default, so comparing your program to the agreement is the first step.

The underlying restaurant risk still applies

Brand requirements sit on top of the same premises, kitchen, staff, and, sometimes, alcohol and delivery exposure as any restaurant. The program has to satisfy the franchisor and actually protect the operation.

Certificates and renewals

Franchisors request certificates and proof of coverage, often at renewal or when terms change. Coverage that produces accurate documents on time keeps you compliant with the brand.
