A Perfect Pairing: Pittsburgh Hot Spot and Erie Insurance

Savoy Pittsburgh , PA 25-60 Employees (varies by season)

Savory Restaurant

There’s a lot to consider when you’re operating a restaurant. And that’s especially true when you don’t have extensive experience in the industry.

That was the situation that John Bettis faced in 2010. The executive manager of Savoy, located in Pittsburgh’s popular Strip District area, was a first-time restaurateur who was looking for trusted advice when it came to protecting his award-winning restaurant. Savoy is known for putting an inventive spin on contemporary American fare.

Fortunately, he was introduced to a local ERIE agent who explained both common and more complex coverages and made sure John got a great value.

“He really held my hand and took a vested interest in my business,” recalled John.

Since that initial meeting, John and his agent meet up twice a year over breakfast to review Savoy’s coverage. John appreciates that he has someone in his corner who cares about protecting the restaurant he worked hard to establish.

“My agent really helps me understand what I need and is always available and willing to help,” said John. And that’s a good thing when you’re running a restaurant one reviewer called “a new genre of fine dining.”
