It’s about a lot more than insurance coverage with Fournier Group. Their work includes problem solving, minimizing the costs of risk, and implementing systems that improve operational efficiency. Over the years, Fournier Group has been both an advisor and safety net to many of the region’s preeminent restaurants and chefs, including Ava Gene’s, Le Pigeon, Mother’s Bistro, Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen, McMenamins, Laughing Planet, and Elephants Delicatessen.
Accidents happen, especially in restaurant kitchens, where grease fires, knife injuries, and burns are all possibilities. People can also slip, trip, and otherwise get hurt while on premises. To help protect clients from these kinds of mishaps, Fournier Group uses a proactive, hands-on approach that emphasizes prevention first, yet recognizes and spearheads the appropriate responses when the worst happens.
