Restaurant & Hospitality Risk Architecture — Precision Protection for Culinary Enterprises

The restaurant and hospitality sector operates within a high-velocity ecosystem—where service, regulation, and risk intersect in real time. Every guest interaction, every plate served, and every operational decision carries measurable exposure.

At Gatta Insurance, we don’t sell insurance—we engineer tailored risk architecture for the world’s leading culinary and hospitality brands. Whether you operate a single Michelin-level establishment or a national franchise portfolio, our frameworks integrate property, casualty, financial, and reputational protection into a unified system that preserves continuity, profitability, and brand equity.


Industry Exposures We Anticipate and Neutralize

  • Guest injuries and premises liability

  • Foodborne illness, contamination, and allergen exposure

  • Kitchen fires and mechanical or electrical failure

  • Power outage and perishable spoilage

  • Regulatory shutdowns or adverse health rulings

  • Employee theft, cyber intrusion, or liquor liability

  • Supply chain disruption or franchise system risk

We anticipate what others overlook—and design for resilience when the unpredictable occurs.

Every placement is actuarially optimized to stabilize long-term cost of risk while enhancing insurability.
