What is covered with Takeaway Insurance?

Takeaway insurance policies provide a single solution for food businesses covering all your requirements under-one-roof. Core cover includes protection for business contents, fixtures, fittings and stock.

In addition, our food business insurance provides cover for your vital legal liabilities such as Public Liability, Products Liability and Employers Liability Insurance. Extensions and further benefits include money cover; signage, glass and shop front; legal expenses and business interruption to cover your fixed costs and for loss of income following a property damage claim where you are unable to trade (such as a fire or flood).

Insurance for Food Delivery

In most cases, your drivers will use their personal vehicles for deliveries. For this, they will have to make sure that their standard car insurance policy extends to food delivery use. However, if you are using multiple vehicles belonging to your business, Insync can organise motor fleet insurance for three vehicles or more.

We can also provide Public and Employers’ Liability for your delivery drivers in the event they or a member of the public is injured as a result of your business activities.

Products and public liability insurance for Takeaways

At Insync, your Products and Public Liability cover come together as standard.

While Public Liability covers you for injuries, illnesses and property damage claims caused by your business activities, Products Liability will cover you for the same risks specified to the products that you supply.

For instance, as a hot food delivery service, you accidentally send out some undercooked chicken that causes food poisoning, or an item on your menu does not have “nuts” listed as an allergen but due to cross-contamination causes an allergic reaction for a customer.

Sometimes the lines between a Public and Product liability claim can blur, especially in hospitality and catering businesses. This is why both come together in a neat package to protect your business.

Frequently Asked Fastfood and Takeaway Insurance Questions

We have prepared a list of the questions we are regularly asked by Customers before and after buying a policy.

If you need further help we are always available.

Whilst saving money is often a key driver when purchasing business insurance, it is equally important to ensure that cover is adequate for your needs.
Catering and kitchen equipment in fast food establishments is an expensive asset, and the sum insured must be adequate to reflect the reinstatement cost.
Improving security at the premises and sound risk management can also reduce premiums, as well as considering different excess levels or removing unwanted cover extensions.

Legally, you are required to have both Motor Insurance, in respect of any vehicles used in connection with the business, and Employers’ Liability insurance. Employers’ liability provides cover for compensation claim awards and defence costs following injury or illness to employees as a result of their employment with your business. For example, a shelf collapses onto one of your team in the stock room and breaks their arm.
Local authorities are also likely to request proof of Public Liability insurance as part of the licensing approval process.

While Takeaway Insurance cover can start as low as £150 (plus insurance premium tax) per year, each policy is individually rated on its own merits depending on the specific risks posed by your business.
Insurers will generally calculate their premiums dependent on:
● Location of the restaurant (postal code)
● Type of food sold and cooking methods used (e.g. use of frying ranges)
● Sums insured (contents, fixtures and fittings, stock etc.)
● Trading or industry experience and previous claims history
● Sections of cover requested

A fire ignited in the kitchen of a fast food takeaway, quickly spreading through into the storeroom.
Following the fire, inspectors found several pieces of catering equipment to be beyond repair, and all stock perished – a total claim of c£15k.
