Serving liquor opens your business up to a lot of risks, including:

  • A guest imbibes one too many champagne toasts at their friend’s retirement party. They leave the party, lose control of their vehicle, and strike a pedestrian. You’re held liable for the medical fees. 
  • While catering a corporate party at a high-end hotel, an intoxicated guest trips, knocks over, and breaks a hotel decoration. The hotel holds you liable for the damages. 
  • Your business is booked to cater a bachelor party. Two of the groomsmen get drunk and start a barroom brawl. This leads to another guest getting injured as they dive out of the way. You’re held liable for their medical fees.
