Restaurant Insurance Information

With more than 450 different Santa Barbara restaurants to choose from, you’ll find the perfect spot to enjoy, from five-star dining to mom-and-pop cafés to the burger joint voted Best Tasting in the United States.

Santa Barbara is a world class foodie town where restaurants can thrive, and you are a part of that restaurant scene. You have struggled and worked hard for years to get where you are today. But have you thought about the risks?

• What will happen to your business if an employee uses improper food handling or cleaning                     practices after handling raw meats, causing a salmonella outbreak?

• What if your kitchen and/or building is destroyed by a grease fire that gets out of control?

Maybe you don’t like to think about the risks, but accidents can happen, to even the best and most well run restaurants.

Baxter Insurance can help you mitigate those risks and protect your livelihood. We will help protect you along with your customers and staff. Baxter Insurance can provide you with the proper restaurant insurance products specifically designed for your establishment.

The Baxter Team will present you with insurance options that will fit your budget. Whether you have a coffee house or a full service restaurant, we can design an insurance program that protects your restaurant.
