What types of insurance does a food cart business need?

Operating a mobile food business exposes you to unique on-the-go risks. The essential protections include: 

  • General Liability – Shields you against third-party injury or property damage (like a customer slipping near your setup or damaging a customer’s device). 
  • Product Liability – Especially vital in food services to cover claims stemming from foodborne illness or allergic reactions. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states when you have staff, including temps helping at peak events.
