Restaurants in Orland Park may apply for sidewalk cafe permits to serve customers in outdoor seating on public rights-of-way or adjacent private space. Permits require ADA compliance, liability insurance, and seasonal operating limits.
Sidewalk cafe permits in Orland Park allow restaurants in commercial corridors (downtown Triangle area, Orland Crossing, LaGrange Road) to extend service into outdoor seating. Applications require site plans showing furniture placement, ADA-compliant pedestrian clearance (minimum 5-6 feet), liability insurance naming the village as additional insured, and proof of underlying restaurant licensing. Cafes serving alcohol require coordination with the village liquor commissioner and may need additional bonding. Operating season typically runs April through October.
