Frequently asked questions
My West Covina plaza wants a waiver of subrogation — normal?
Very common. We request matching endorsements so the certificate matches the lease before you open or renew.
We cook in a shared commissary — how do we insure that?
List every cooking location and who controls the premises. Shared kitchens without clarity are a top reason restaurant submissions bounce.
