STOCK & INVENTORY INSURANCE FOR CAFÉS & DELIS

Stock is one of the most vulnerable assets in any café or deli. From fresh ingredients and chilled produce to dry goods, drinks and packaged items, stock losses can quickly add up - especially when refrigeration fails or premises suffer fire, flood or theft.

Stock & Inventory Insurance protects the value of your café’s food and drink stock, helping you recover quickly after insured events such as equipment breakdown, power failure, water damage or forced closure.

  • Food and beverage stock stored on-site
  • Fresh, frozen and chilled ingredients

Common Stock Risks for Cafés

  • Fridge or freezer breakdown overnight
  • Power cuts causing food spoilage
  • Flooding from burst pipes or neighbouring units
  • Fire or smoke contamination
  • Theft of alcohol or high-value stock
  • Forced closure following insured damage
  • Waste following EHO intervention

How Much Stock Insurance Does a Café Need?

The right level of stock cover depends on the maximum value of food and drink you hold at any one time - including peak periods such as weekends, events or seasonal trading.

Many cafés underestimate stock values, especially where fresh produce and chilled ingredients are delivered multiple times per week. Underinsuring stock can result in reduced claim payouts.
