Restaurants and hotels are busy places. Customers are always coming and going. Vendors and service providers are frequently onsite. Employees are doing their jobs. Plus, incidents like fires and natural disasters can occur at any time, so it’s no surprise that property damage can be a major problem for hospitality businesses.

With adequate insurance coverage, hospitality businesses can manage property-related incidents without them creating significant financial burdens. Companies that don’t have the right insurance can experience devastating economic consequences following an unexpected event.

This article describes the essential elements of restaurant property insurance and hotel property insurance. It also explains that a THREE policy includes restaurant and hotel property insurance - along with other coverages - to address the most common issues these businesses face.

What’s covered by hotel and restaurant property insurance?

If you own or operate a hotel or restaurant, it doesn’t take long to understand that the list of property-related issues your business must contend with is long and includes:

  • Fire from kitchen incidents, electrical problems, and other causes
  • Damage from natural disasters, such as windstorms, floods, hail, lightning, earthquakes, etc. (Note: Some types of events are typically excluded from business insurance coverage. Call 1-800-507-4495 to ask one of our small business advisors for details.)
  • Vandalism and “malicious mischief,” like broken windows, damaged furniture, and graffiti
  • Theft of company property, such as electronics, equipment, tools, etc.
  • Accidental damage to guest property, such as luggage or personal belongings.
  • Food spoilage due to power failures caused by a storm

The issues above are typically covered by most small business insurance policies. Other issues can be addressed with specialized coverages. Equipment breakdown is a good example. This additional insurance can cover repairing or replacing commercial kitchen equipment, HVAC systems, or laundry equipment due to catastrophic mechanical failure (not normal wear-and-tear).

Remember that hotel or restaurant property insurance has coverage limits. You’ll have to pay any costs over your limits.

How THREE protects hospitality businesses.

Our small business insurance policy at THREE is clear and concise about what’s covered. Some of the property-related provisions include the following:

  • Loss of or damage to company property: THREE protects your business from theft and physical damage to property your business owns or leases. For example, if a grease fire spreads to the walls and ceiling in your kitchen, the incident may be covered. We pay to repair the damaged property if possible or replace it with something of similar qualities.
  • Business interruption: We cover costs related to keeping your business running after a loss we pay, including lost net income. These amounts are called business interruption costs, and we cover them until your business resumes normal operations or you reach your business interruption coverage limit. For instance, the associated costs may be covered if a broken pipe floods your business office and you have to operate from a rented space nearby until workers complete repairs.
  • Data damage: If a hacker gains access to your network and causes damage, you’re covered with THREE. Electronic data is considered a type of covered physical property.
  • Loss of or damage to others’ property: THREE pays for incidents affecting property in your company’s care, custody, or control. For instance, if you agree to store a customer’s luggage until their transportation arrives and someone accidentally damages it and its contents, the repair or replacement costs may be paid under your policy.

As you can see, our policy covers most incidents a hospitality business is likely to face.

Understanding exclusions in hotel and restaurant insurance.

Exclusions are incidents or items that an insurance policy doesn’t cover. They’re standard in the business insurance industry.

Property and building exclusions for hotels and restaurants include:

  • Occurrences that start or take place outside the policy period
  • Ordinary property wear and tear
  • Lost or misplaced property
  • Anything personal to you (or anyone) independent of your business
  • Any building your business owns, leases, occupies, or rents that isn’t listed on the policy
  • Any vehicle owned or leased by your business (or any of its owners or officers) that isn’t listed
  • Damage or business interruption caused by pollution, asbestos, or a nuclear event

This is a brief summary of exclusions. It’s not an exhaustive list of what’s covered and not covered by a THREE policy—or any insurance policy.
