ABOUT INSURE MY FOOD
InsureMyFood.com first began as a wild idea of Joel’s to serve mobile food vendors. The Paprocki Insurance Agency was founded in 2004 but when a client’s son was opening a food trailer in 2012, Joel started to realize how tough it is for mobile food vendors to get proper insurance coverage. At the time, his native Austin was experiencing a boom in food trailers and food trucks and he wanted to do his small part to help the community and see it thrive. Since then, he’s expanded his footprint within the food community to insuring not only mobile food, but brick and mortar restaurants, consumer package goods, food manufacturers, and even craft beverages!
Working together with insurance companies and underwriters has resulted in offering exclusive insurance programs specifically addressing the unique needs of food and beverage companies.
The goal of our agency is to know and understand the food business better than any other insurance agency in the country. By knowing the challenges our customers face and being the experts on the insurance products we sell, we can partner with our customer to not “sell a policy” but rather work as a trusted partner to navigate the insurance program that fits their needs and budget.
We believe our dedication to exceeding customers’ expectations has set us apart in the industry. We offer a client portal to generate certificates of insurance for immediate access, support our food community through giving back, and offer prompt and accurate assistance with questions. In fact, referrals from our current customers have catapulted our success in growing from a local provider, to the largest insurance agency in the country that specializes in food businesses.
We hope you agree that Insure My Food is an agency you can trust and love!
