Takeaway insurance: what cover do you need?
A takeaway usually needs liability cover, protection for equipment and stock, and separate motor cover for any delivery driving. Fryers and late opening are the points insurers ask about most.
Deep-fat frying
Thermostats, fire suppression and staff training can all affect cover.
Late-night trade
Opening late can raise theft and damage risk. Shutters and CCTV help.
Delivery drivers
Ordinary car insurance usually excludes delivering food. Drivers need hire-and-reward cover.
Food safety
Product liability can respond if a customer becomes ill from food you sold.
