Episode Details

No one could have anticipated the business risk that was the Covid pandemic. As a restaurant owner at the time, my first thought was that it would be a temporary inconvenience! Never did I expect we would be forced to shut down, remove all our dining seats to become a market, and then pivot at least 3 more times. I also thought our restaurant insurance had the business protected. The point is, business risk is always around the next corner, ready to catch us by surprise when we’re busy taking care of business. In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with Clay Ogden of Strategic Risk Alternatives, a risk management expert who helps us understand restaurant insurance and potential pitfalls to your coverage.
