The brand’s reference prices
Chipotle prices catering by the person on its catering site, before a ZIP code is entered, and those are the figures this site can print: $8.75 a person for the Build Your Own Single (“The Single comes with 1 protein, 2 bases, 2 toppings, 2 salsas, and 1 type of tortilla.”), $12.00 for the Double and $13.50 for the Triple, with a ten-person minimum. Burritos by the Box is $8.75 a person with a six-person minimum, and the Chips and Dips set is $40.00, which serves 10 to 15. The brand’s footnote on every one: “Pricing & availability vary by location.”
What a group costs
| Group | Build Your Own Single | Build Your Own Double | Burritos by the Box | Family Meals (chicken) at the medians | Chicken burritos at the median |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 people | $52.50 | $106.00 for two kits, or one kit at $53.00 | $58.80 | ||
| 10 people | $87.50 | $120.00 | $87.50 | $106.00 for two kits | $98.00 |
| 20 people | $175.00 | $240.00 | $175.00 | $212.00 for four kits | $196.00 |
| 50 people | $437.50 | $600.00 | $437.50 | $490.00 |
At the reference prices the Single is $8.75 a head and a chicken burrito at the median $9.80, so the Build Your Own Single undercuts a burrito each by $1.05 while serving a buffet rather than a wrapped order; the Double at $12.00 is dearer than the burrito. A chicken family meal at $53.00 is $13.25 a head at four and $8.83 at six, “Family Meals are a customizable meal kit designed for 4 to 6 people.” The catering per head tool runs the arithmetic for any group size.
What comes with it
The Single: “The Single comes with 1 protein, 2 bases, 2 toppings, 2 salsas, and 1 type of tortilla.” The box: “every two burritos come with Chips, Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa, and Sour Cream”. The Chips and Dips: “house-made Chips, all 4 salsas, and a choice of Guacamole or Queso Blanco”. The popular builds are the Double at $12.00 a person with two proteins and set toppings; their page lists each.
Notice and channel
“Orders at least 24 hours in advance.” Catering is ordered through the catering site, not the app, and the brand’s Family Meals page draws the line: “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.” Rewards points accrue on catering placed on the brand’s own sites: “at the time you place an order for a qualifying purchase (including a qualifying catering order) on Chipotle’s owned web ordering sites or via a Chipotle mobile ordering app”.
What this site cannot read
The catering site prices an order only after a ZIP code is entered, so the per-person figures here are the brand’s reference prices, marked as announced, not restaurant reads; the family meals and burritos in the table are reads from 368 restaurants. The catering hub has each catering item.
By head count
