Coverage is available through Chubb’s expanding and award-winning digital platform – the Chubb Marketplace, which features a broad and customizable suite of products for businesses with up to $30 million in revenue.

The restaurant industry is projected to see $863 billion in sales this year, representing an increase of more than 46 percent since 2010, and equaling four percent of the U.S. gross domestic product.
