Business insurance

Insurance for Takeaway Food Outlets

A takeaway kitchen runs hot, fast and public. Public liability covers a customer slip or an order that makes someone unwell, and food contamination and product cover matters because food safety is your core risk. Add contents and stock cover for the fryers, grills and cool room, glass cover for the shopfront, and workers' compensation for your staff. Fire risk around fryers and exhaust is a real exposure too. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.

Common questions

Takeaway Food Outlets — insurance questions

Do I need food contamination cover specifically?

It is worth having. A contamination or food-borne illness claim is one of the most serious risks in this trade, and public liability alone may not fully address it. Cockatoo helps match you to a broker who covers the food risk properly.

Is fire cover important for a takeaway?

Yes — fryers, grills and exhaust systems make fire a genuine exposure, and a kitchen fire can close the shop for weeks. Make sure your cover reflects the cooking equipment and any business interruption while you rebuild.
