RC Protects serves up a new affordable and fair insurance program
Say good bye to sky-high insurance premiums. Restaurants Canada has teamed up with the Canadian Broker Network to launch a customized insurance program specifically designed to meet the needs of the foodservice industry.
While many restaurant operators’ costs are habitually at the mercy of government policies and the economy, the price of insurance has been left solely to the insurance providers. Restaurants have been paying too much for insurance, leaving them feeling that the continuous increases on their premiums are unavoidable. This problem is particularly acute with licensed restaurants and largely due to the ambiguous food-to-alcohol beverage ratios that insurance providers have been using to their own benefit for years.
Using their collective voice for change, Restaurants Canada is officially launching RC Protects – a market-changing foodservice insurance program for operators of all sizes, with platforms geared toward helping them save on insurance and improve their bottom lines.
“We wanted to use our collective voice to change some of the predatory practices in the insurance world,” said Shanna Munro, President and CEO of Restaurants Canada. “Restaurants Canada spent more than 18 months interviewing many insurance companies, both Canadian and international, including brokers of all sizes and combinations, to find the right one to help us change the game.”
How It Works
The RC Protects program is designed to get operators in front of their risk areas. A proactive process called the RC Protects Risk Journey takes a close look at the operators’ business model, policies and claims, and then builds a custom value strategy that balances risk tolerance, pricing and terms.
As opposed to continually increasing premiums, RC Protects will use an approach similar to one that is used by the auto sector to reduce rates for safe drivers. By educating operators and providing them with direction on risk reduction initiatives, they will be able to ultimately lower their premiums.
RC Protects is designed to put the interest of foodservice operators first as opposed to the standard practice of working for the benefit of the insurance provider.
