Orland Restaurant Learns the Importance of a Name

Round The Clock Restaurant provides guests with food 24 hours a day, which is more clear now with its current name.

When Minas Litos extended his family restaurant chain to Orland Park his goal was to compete in an area already inundated with food options. He took over the old space of Connie’s Pizza location, 16310 South LaGrange Road, completed renovations that included a name change to Café 24 and reopened the doors in November. 

The community response wasn’t exactly in Litos’ business plan. 

“Residents thought the café was a higher end bistro,"  General Manager Robert Withrow said.

There were a lot of calls for reservations, something the restaurant doesn’t take and calls inquiring about alcohol which is something the restaurant doesn’t serve. Also, customers didn’t always get that the restaurant was open 24 hours based strictly on its name. 

After seven months, the decision was made to change the name to Round The Clock, also the name of Litos’ other restaurant locations. Almost instantly sales increased 20 percent and customers doubled.
