NEXT Announces Liquor Liability Insurance for Small Business Restaurant Owners
Insurtech leader expands its coverage options to include liquor liability helping restaurant owners thrive and recover post-pandemic
PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NEXT Insurance, the leading digital insurtech company transforming small business insurance, today announced liquor liability coverage, which is available for restaurants as a part of NEXT's general liability coverage. NEXT's liquor liability covers losses resulting from the intoxication of customers and is designed for small businesses such as cafés, diners, pop-up restaurants, and fine dining.
Restaurants across the U.S. were negatively impacted by the pandemic as shelter-in-place mandates and closures forced business owners to miss out on sales. By December 2020, 110,000 eating and drinking places were closed long-term or for good. Now, as COVID-19 restrictions lessen, restaurants are starting to bounce back. According to recent data from Yelp, nearly 16,500 restaurant reopenings occurred in April 2021. As consumer demand for dining out continues, liquor liability can protect restaurant small business owners whether they're serving alcohol to customers tableside or offering drinks to go.
"At NEXT, we want to help restaurants and other small business owners get the insurance coverage they need all under one roof so that they can have peace of mind knowing their business is protected," said Sofya Pogreb, COO of NEXT. "Liquor liability is a necessity for restaurants that serve alcohol and we're excited to bring even more coverage and choice to the restaurant industry."
Liquor liability insurance is bundled with general liability insurance starting at an additional $150 per month for comprehensive and affordable coverage.
