General Liability Insurance for Hibachi & Teppanyaki Caterers

General liability insurance is the foundation of every hibachi caterer's insurance program. Our GL policies are endorsed specifically for open-flame teppanyaki and mobile hibachi operations—not generic commercial policies that leave gaps when a guest is burned, a flying-food trick goes wrong, or a hot grill damages a client's property.

Open-flame and live-fire cooking endorsement for hibachi grills
Coverage for burns, hot-oil spills, and flying-food injuries
Additional insured endorsements for venues and event hosts
Waiver of subrogation available

Other Coverages

Workers Compensation

Cover your chefs and catering staff for on-the-job injuries with workers comp designed for the burns, knife cuts, and slips of live hibachi cooking.

Commercial Auto

Protect your catering van and the mobile equipment inside it—grills, cooktops, and prep gear—with commercial auto coverage built for mobile hibachi operations.

Foodborne Illness Liability

Serving raw and cooked food at events creates food-poisoning exposure that standard policies often limit. Products and foodborne illness liability fills the gap that leaves caterers exposed.
