What the brand says about the two

“Family Meals are a smaller-scale, fully customizable meal option for groups of 4 to 6. Chipotle catering is designed for larger groups and events, requiring you to place your Chipotle Catering order 24 hours in advance.” The catering figures are the brand’s published reference prices and vary by location; the family meal figures are medians read from 368 restaurants on 25 September 2026.
