What wing shop insurance costs in Salt Lake City
The lowest food-service general liability policy we have bound is $597/yr, a policy we wrote for a caterer in New York, and our lowest restaurant workers' comp policy is $509/yr. Liability and property together start at $1,153/yr on a bound businessowners policy. A wing shop lands above or near those depending on cooking, alcohol, sales, payroll, property, and claims.
In Utah, our lowest restaurant quote so far is $1,549 a year for liability + property.
A useful wing shop quote starts with the real operation: constant frying, sauces, delivery, sports-bar service, and beer. Fryers, hoods, suppression, refrigeration and improvements should be described.
| Coverage | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General liability (bound) | from $597/yr | Our lowest bound food-service liability policy, for a caterer in New York. Cooking, alcohol, sales, and claims move it up from there. |
| Workers' compensation (bound) | from $509/yr | Our lowest bound restaurant workers' comp policy, for a sandwich shop. Priced on payroll, so staff size drives it. |
| Utah restaurant quote (quote, not bound) | from $1,549/yr | Our lowest Utah restaurant quote, for liability + property, out of 1 we have written there as of 2026-09-26. |
| Liability + property BOP (bound) | from $1,153/yr | Our lowest bound businessowners policy, for a full-service restaurant in New York. Building, equipment and contents values set this one. |
| Liquor, auto, and umbrella | As applicable | Each is priced on its own exposure; a restaurant package does not automatically include every line. |
These are the lowest premiums we have actually bound for restaurants, as of 2026-09-26, plus the lowest instant quotes a carrier issued ready to bind (marked "instant quote, bindable"; those are real quotes, not bound policies) and, where marked "quote", an ordinary carrier quote. Each is labelled by line of business. Your price depends on your menu, cooking, alcohol, sales, payroll, property, location, and claims. They are not an offer of insurance.

The coverage a Salt Lake City wing shop needs
Wings mean fryers running all service. Carriers expect Hood and duct cleaning on the schedule NFPA 96 sets for your cooking volume, a UL 300 wet-chemical suppression system over the line, and a Class K extinguisher near the fryers.
Sports-bar crowds and beer sales raise premises and liquor exposure, especially on game nights.
Wing shops rely on delivery. Drivers in their own cars need hired and non-owned auto coverage.
Fryers run all service, which is the main fire exposure carriers price.
Customer injury, foodborne illness, allergens, premises, delivery and catering, checked against what you actually do.
Equipment, contents, stock, improvements and lost income after a covered loss. Compare valuation, deductibles, spoilage and restoration time.

Frequently asked questions
Who issues restaurant permits in Salt Lake City?
Under Utah law, a Salt Lake County restaurant needs a food service permit from the county health department, which inspects unannounced.
How much does wing shop insurance cost in Salt Lake City?
The lowest food-service general liability policy we have bound is $597/yr, a policy we wrote for a caterer in New York, and our lowest restaurant workers' comp policy is $509/yr. Liability and property together start at $1,153/yr on a bound businessowners policy. A wing shop lands above or near those depending on cooking, alcohol, sales, payroll, property, and claims.
Is a wing shop rated like a sports bar?
It depends on the alcohol share. A takeout-heavy wing shop is a fryer-heavy restaurant; a wing bar selling a lot of beer is rated closer to a bar.
Why does my wing shop's alcohol share matter?
Past about a third of sales, carriers treat it more like a bar; below that it's a fryer-heavy restaurant.
What information should a wing shop gather for a quote?
Start with the current policy if handy, loss runs, menu, equipment list, sales split, payroll, hours, seating, square footage, alcohol and delivery details, property values, hood and suppression records, lease requirements, and requested effective date. Estimates are fine when labeled as estimates.
Will the policy meet my landlord's lease requirements?
Usually, for the most common request: $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate in general liability, the landlord named as an additional insured, and a certificate of insurance. Send the insurance section of your lease with the quote request so the limits, additional insured wording, damage to rented premises, liquor and umbrella limits can be checked against it before you buy.
