Restaurant & Food Service Insurance in South Dakota

Restaurants are rated Preferred by a leading admitted carrier and BOP-eligible — one of the most active classes we write. Slip and falls, foodborne illness claims, kitchen fires, and liquor liability are the primary drivers. We write full-service restaurants, fast casual concepts, pizza shops, sandwich shops, delis, food trucks, and catering operations — each with coverage structured for their specific operations.

Coverage Details

Liquor liability must be explicitly included in your restaurant policy — it is not automatically part of general liability and is commonly excluded or sublimited in standard GL forms. Any restaurant serving beer, wine, or spirits needs a specific liquor liability endorsement at adequate limits. We confirm this coverage is in place at binding and that it covers both on-premises consumption and delivery or catering operations if applicable.
