LRA Showcase - Louisiana Restaurant Association Showcase 2025

Sponsored by Johnson, Yacoubian & Paysse

In a world where one unexpected incident—a fire, a fall, a flood—can derail your business overnight, smart restaurant and hospitality operators know that insurance isn’t just a requirement—it’s your last line of defense. 

Join Alan Yacoubian, General Counsel for the Louisiana Restaurant Association and its Workers’ Comp program, for a candid and eye-opening look at the legal and insurance risks hiding in plain sight.

This session will unpack:

• Why off-the-shelf insurance often leaves restaurants vulnerable—and how to close those gaps before disaster strikes.
• What every operator should know about general liability, property insurance, business interruption, liquor liability, auto/fleet, cyber risk, and umbrella coverage.
• Real-world examples of claims that exposed weak spots—and what could have prevented them.
• How the LRA Workers’ Comp program is built specifically for the hospitality industry—and why that matters when it’s time to file.

Whether you're reviewing your current policies or haven’t looked at them since opening day, this session will give you a game plan to protect your business from the threats you didn’t see coming.
