Restaurant Workers' Compensation Insurance


When you work in the food industry, owners and employees face risks on a daily basis.

Restaurants are fast-paced environments where slips, falls, burns, and other workplace injuries are common. From servers navigating crowded dining areas to kitchen staff working with hot equipment and sharp tools, the potential for employee injuries is high—especially during peak hours when speed is critical and safety can be compromised.

Keating understands these challenges and offers a tailored Restaurant Workers' Compensation Insurance program through tKg Comp to help agents place and protect foodservice clients. This program provides essential workers’ compensation coverage for a wide range of restaurant operations so your clients can focus on running their business with confidence.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite

We work with agents to place a variety of food and beverage service operations, including:
Fast Food
Delivery Services
Fine Dining Restaurants
24-Hour Eateries
Chain Restaurants
Multi-State Exposures
Start-Ups (Including High Liquor Sales)
In select states, we can also consider risks with bouncers and live entertainment.

This program is a strong fit for high-volume or complex restaurant businesses that need reliable Workers' Compensation coverage to meet state requirements and limit operational risk. You might have a client with multiple locations across several states or a newly opened restaurant with elevated liquor sales—both can be good candidates for placement through Keating’s program.

Coverage Highlights and Advantages

Our Restaurant Workers' Compensation Insurance program is structured to help agents place traditional and non-traditional foodservice risks, including:
Restaurants
Fine Dining Establishments
Bars and Taverns
Fast Food Locations
Nightclubs
The program focuses on efficient claims handling, practical loss control guidance, and flexible underwriting for both start-ups and established brands. Whether a client needs coverage at a single location or for a multi-state footprint, Keating’s relationships with several carrier partners allow competitive placement options and tailored solutions.

Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums

Minimum premium starts at just $1,000, making the program accessible for small and mid-size operations as well as larger multi-location risks. Keating represents several carriers and will work with you to identify the best market based on the client’s size, location, payroll, and loss history.

Underwriting will review factors such as liquor exposure, entertainment activities, payroll mixes, and safety programs. High-risk operations may require additional underwriting detail or loss-control measures; Keating’s underwriting team works directly with agents to find practical solutions for complex accounts.

Territories and Availability

This program is available in most U.S. states, including CA, TX, FL, NY, IL, and PA. We offer nationwide capability across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., which makes it easier to place multi-location and multi-state accounts through a single program.
