Answer:

IHOP

Hint:

4-letter answer

Explanation:

This clue points to IHOP, a well-known breakfast restaurant chain famous for its pancakes. The hint about being "open 24 hours a day" refers to many IHOP locations operating around the clock, catering to late-night or early-morning diners. The name itself is an acronym for International House of Pancakes, though the chain now just goes by IHOP. It’s a straightforward reference with no hidden wordplay—just a direct nod to the brand’s reputation.
