How does deli insurance work?
Comprehensive insurance cover made for delis
As an owner of a delicatessen the last thing you want to worry about is the risks of the job. There’s always a chance of possible loss, damage or theft of your utensils, damage to your kitchens, or an expensive claim if an employee or member of the public is injured or worse due to your work. Working in a profession which uses heat and sharp utensils also poses a risk to you or another person. That’s why it’s important to manage these risks and keep your business safe with delicatessen business insurance.
As the owner or manager of a deli you sell and prepare a wide variety of foods, like cheeses and meats, perhaps all sourced from a wide range of different countries. At The Insurance Octopus, we understand the types of risks and perils you’ll face as a deli business. We have sourced cover to offer the ultimate flexibility, allowing you create a tailored deli insurance policy just the way you want it – ensuring that all of the essential cover you’ll need is in one, simple business insurance policy.

Public Liability insurance for delis
Public Liability insurance is available with various levels of cover ranging from £1m, £2m, and £5m. Public Liability insurance is important as it helps to protect you if a member of the public gets hurt or injured whilst on your premises.

Employers liability insurance is a legal obligation to have if you employ permanent or temporary members of staff. As an employer it is a legal responsibility to ensure that you have provided safe and secure surroundings for your employees. Cover is available at a standard level of £10m.

How deli insurance works
Examples of Deli Insurance in action
A trip they won’t forget
A member of staff at the delicatessen has been left with severe burns to their hands due to tripping over an exposed wire within the bakery area of the store and placing their hands on the surface of a hot oven to prevent falling. These injuries have left them unable to return to work, and such they are pursuing legal action against the delicatessen. Due to full employer’s liability insurance, this claim is covered and the business is protected against all costs or loss involved.
