CHICAGO — Roti, a Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant group based in Chicago, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company intends to use Chapter 11 to seek new investors or purchasers on an accelerated time frame while reorganizing its finances. Roti intends to keep its locations across Chicago, Minneapolis and the Washington, D.C. metro areas operating. “After careful consideration, filing for bankruptcy protection was the best way to address our challenges, including financial performance, higher costs, mixed location performance and tough market conditions,” says Justin Seamonds, CEO and prime minister of fun at Roti.

Located at 2155 Jodeco Road, the restaurant features four drive-thru lanes that run below an elevated kitchen that is twice the size of a typical Chick-fil-A kitchen. Food reaches the delivery team members via a custom meal transport system that uses conveyer belt technology. Patrons can either order onsite with a Chick-fil-A team member or order ahead on the Chick-fil-A app. The restaurant features dedicated lanes for both ordering methods, as well as “pull-aside lanes” for guests whose orders are taking longer to fulfill. The Atlanta-based fast-casual restaurant chain says that the Jodeco Road restaurant has the capacity to support two to three times more vehicles than a standard Chick-fil-A restaurant drive-thru. Chick-fil-A, which opened its first restaurant with a drive-thru in 1993, expects to employ 150 team members at the new McDonough restaurant, which serves both the McDonough and Stockbridge markets.
