Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)
A cost-effective bundled policy combining property insurance and general liability insurance. It protects your café from fire, equipment breakdowns, vandalism, and customer injury claims — ensuring nothing interrupts your business flow.
General Liability Insurance
If a customer slips on a wet floor or gets burned by a hot drink, you could face lawsuits. General liability protects you from costly claims involving bodily injury, property damage, or legal action, keeping your reputation strong and your finances secure.
Workers’ Compensation
Hot surfaces, spills, and constant motion increase the risk of workplace injuries. Workers’ comp coverage pays for medical bills, lost wages, and recovery support if your baristas or kitchen staff get hurt on the job — helping both your workers and your bottom line.
What Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance for Coffee Shops?
Workers’ Compensation—often required by law in Illinois—provides financial support to employees who suffer a work-related injury or illness. This coverage protects your business from costly lawsuits and medical expenses, and ensures your employees get the care they need to recover safely.
For coffee shop owners, common covered incidents include:
Burns from hot drinks, steamers, and ovens
Slips on wet floors behind the counter
Back injuries from lifting supplies or equipment
Repetitive strain from grinding beans and serving customers
Delivery-related accidents
Business Ownership Policy
A Business Ownership Policy is vital for coffee shop owners, offering protection for the assets and operations that are the backbone of your business. This policy typically covers the physical aspects of your coffee shop, including the building, furnishings, equipment, and inventory. As a coffee shop owner, you rely on specialized equipment such as espresso machines, coffee grinders, and ovens to keep your business running. Without a Business Ownership Policy, these critical assets would not be covered in the event of damage, loss, or theft.
