What insurance does a catering company need?

A caterer can review general-liability, product-liability, commercial-auto, liquor-liability, equipment, property, business-income, workers' compensation, event, cyber, employment-practices, and related options based on food preparation, alcohol service, transportation, venues, employees, contracts, equipment, events, and operations. The coverage that may be appropriate depends on applicable requirements, carrier underwriting, and selected policy terms.

Do I need liquor liability if I serve alcohol at events?

A caterer that serves alcohol should review its event contracts, the responsible OLCC licensee, alcohol-service responsibilities, and liquor-liability options. Oregon alcohol-service laws can affect liability exposure in some circumstances, but whether a particular service, allegation, injury, defense cost, settlement, or other loss is covered depends on the coverage form, facts, limits, retention, exclusions, endorsements, applicable law, and issued policy terms.

Does my personal auto insurance cover my catering vehicle?

Personal and commercial auto policies can differ substantially. A caterer using a vehicle for business should review the issued personal policy, vehicle ownership or leasing arrangement, employee use, delivery activity, and available commercial-auto, hired-auto, or non-owned-auto options with the insurer and a licensed agent. Whether a particular vehicle, driver, trip, cargo loss, liability claim, or physical-damage loss is covered depends on the policy terms.

How much does catering insurance cost in Oregon?

Pricing may depend on revenue, number and type of events, food and alcohol service, vehicles, equipment, employees, contracts, claims history, selected limits, retention, endorsements, and carrier underwriting. No price, eligibility, or coverage outcome is guaranteed.

Do I need separate event insurance for each catered event?

A caterer can review its business policy, event coverage, venue contract, certificate requirements, additional-insured wording, liquor-service responsibilities, and any event-specific obligations for each engagement. Whether a particular event, venue, service, product, injury, property-damage event, cancellation, or other loss is covered depends on the policy form, facts, limits, retention, exclusions, and issued policy terms.
