A head at a time
The Single catering plate is $8.75 a head from the brand’s catering site, minimum ten, with the notice the site asks for: “Orders at least 24 hours in advance.” The Family Meal - Chicken is $53.00 at the median, $13.25 a head at four and $8.83 at six, with no minimum and no notice. The brand draws the line itself: “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 figure is a published reference price that varies by location; the family meal figure is a read of 368 restaurants’ menus. Both are printed as what they are.

How this page is read
Every price on this page is a range read from 368 restaurants’ own ordering menus in 48 states and DC on 25 September 2026, printed with the count of restaurants behind it and the brand’s own delivery price beside it; every calorie and nutrient figure is Chipotle’s own record from its nutrition calculator, and every allergen mark is its own chart row or tag. The side by side table above prints every published figure both items carry; a blank cell means the record does not publish it. An entree’s record is its protein alone, which is why the formats compare as builds.
