Cyber insurance for restaurants

Worth a look

Reservation, loyalty, and payment-card data plus the POS system every check closes through — exposure standard business policies don't cover.

What it covers for full-service restaurants

Helps the restaurant respond when customer payment-card, reservation, or loyalty-program data is exposed, or when the point-of-sale system every check closes through is knocked out by an attack. Cyber policies are built for the costs standard policies aren't — most commercial property and general liability policies don't cover cyber risks — from data repair and credit monitoring for affected customers to business interruption and litigation. A full-service restaurant books its guests, runs their cards, and closes every check through the same connected systems — customer data plus that dependence give even a single dining room real cyber exposure.
