Sushi train restaurants are fast-paced, equipment-heavy, and highly specialised. With conveyor belt systems, refrigeration displays, raw seafood handling, and continuous customer turnover, the risks are very different from a standard restaurant.

To protect your business properly, you need tailored sushi train restaurant insurance that covers your equipment, staff, food safety risks, and customers.

At Morgan Insurance Brokers, we specialise in hospitality insurance and work with a panel of insurers who understand the unique risks of sushi train operations. Standard insurers rarely cover these venues correctly, but our specialist market does.

Why Sushi Train Restaurants Need Specialist Insurance

Sushi train restaurants face a mix of food handling, equipment, and customer interaction risks that most insurers don’t understand.

Key risk factors include:

• Exposure to raw seafood and strict temperature control requirements
• Specialist conveyor belt systems that are costly to repair if damaged
• High fire risk from tempura fryers, hot plates, gas appliances, or blowtorches
• Slip hazards from constant foot traffic around the conveyor area
• Food contamination risks if temperature-controlled cabinets fail
• Machinery dependency, meaning breakdowns can halt the entire restaurant

Because of these complexities, many general insurers either decline sushi restaurants or offer limited policies with key exclusions.

Morgan Insurance Brokers ensures you’re covered by insurers who understand your operational setup.

Business Package Insurance for Sushi Train Restaurants

A Business Package Insurance Policy combines multiple essential protections into one tailored solution for your restaurant.

Contents and Stock

Covers specialist sushi equipment, conveyor belts, refrigeration units, kitchen appliances, furniture, décor, and food inventory against fire, theft, and accidental damage.

Public Liability

Protects your business if a customer or third party is injured or their property is damaged. This is critical for sushi train venues where customers are constantly moving around the central conveyor.

Machinery Breakdown

Covers failure of essential equipment including:

• Sushi train conveyor belt motors
• Refrigerated display cabinets
• Cool rooms and freezers
• Tempura fryers and hot plates

Repairs can be costly, this cover keeps you trading.

Electronic Breakdown

Protects POS systems, ticketing systems, ordering tablets, and refrigeration controllers against electrical or mechanical fault.

Business Interruption

Provides income replacement if you’re unable to trade after an insured event such as a fire, storm damage, or major equipment failure.

Glass and Signage

Covers breakage of internal or external glass, including display glass or partitioning around the sushi train.

Money and Theft

Protection against theft, break-ins, or loss of cash from the premises.

Management Liability Insurance

With multiple staff roles, chefs, assistants, front-of-house, and casual workers, Management Liability Insurance is essential. It protects your business and directors from claims or investigations involving:

• Unfair dismissal
• Harassment or bullying allegations
• OH&S breaches
• Employment disputes
• Wage or award compliance claims

This cover helps safeguard management from unexpected legal and regulatory risks.

Cyber Insurance

Sushi train restaurants rely heavily on technology, including digital payment systems, ordering screens, loyalty programs, and online reservations.

Cyber Insurance protects you from:

• Ransomware attacks
• Data breaches
• Payment system hacks
• Website or booking platform failures

It covers recovery costs, reputational damage, and loss of income.

Why Standard Insurers Often Decline Sushi Restaurants

Sushi train venues are considered “high-risk” because of:

• raw seafood handling
• expensive specialist machinery
• continuous customer movement
• high fire and contamination exposure

Many mainstream insurers refuse to quote or impose strict exclusions.

Morgan Insurance Brokers works with specialist hospitality insurers who understand these restaurants and provide comprehensive cover without unfair restrictions.
