How much coverage do I need for my Kopitiam?
- Public Liability Insurance, with Food Poisoning Cover: The bare minimum an average Kopitiam should have is $500,000.
- Commercial Property Insurance:Â The bare minimum an average Kopitiam should have is $100,000. You will need enough coverage to protect your equipment (e.g. kitchen equipment, beverage equipment, etc), renovations, fixtures and fittings, and food and beverage stocks.
- Work Injury Compensation Insurance: You should insure all your employees. You are legally required to purchase Work Injury Insurance for all manual workers. Examples of manual workers include cooks, Kopitiam assistants, beverage makers, electrical workers, and cleaners. You must also purchase this insurance for all non-manual workers who earn $2,600/month & below. However, don’t just stop there – it’s recommended to carry Work Injury Insurance for all your employees, even non-manual workers like cashiers.
- Business Interruption Insurance: Consider having at least $50,000 coverage. Calculate how much gross profit you’d lose if you can’t operate your Kopitiam for 3-6 months. Ensure you can cover at least that amount.
- Foreign Worker Medical Insurance:Â You must purchase Foreign Worker Medical coverage for all foreign workers (S-Pass and Work Permit holders, only). Coverage is a minimum of $15,000 per foreigner.
