Chipotle’s own line between the two group products: “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 family meals were on all 368 menus read, $53.00 to $64.00 at the medians by protein: Family Meal - Chicken $53.00, Family Meal - Sofritas $53.00, Family Meal - Pollo Asado $57.00, Family Meal - Carnitas $58.00, Family Meal - Beef Barbacoa $64.00 and Family Meal - Steak $64.00.
The break-even
Four chicken burritos at the median are $39.20 against $53.00 for the chicken family meal, so the kit costs $13.80 more than four entrees and $5.80 less than six. The kit’s contents explain the gap: “Family Meals come with one Protein of your choice, White Rice or Brown Rice, Black Beans or Pinto Beans, Shredded Cheese, Romaine Lettuce, up to three Large Sides, your choice of Large Guac or Large Queso, 10 Soft Flour Tortillas, and one Large Tortilla Chips.” A family meal is 6,600 calories in the kit by the brand’s records, 1,100 to 1,650 a person as the brand prints it. The family meal against four entrees page has the full comparison.
Ordering several entrees at once
The app takes a group order as one basket; every entree is priced as it would be alone, and the priced add-ons stay per entree ($2.95 for guacamole, $1.70 for queso blanco and $4.00 to $6.00 for a second portion of protein). Rewards count the order as one qualifying purchase: “Purchases of multiple menu items in a single transaction may count as no more than one qualifying purchase.” The BOGO offers, when they run, are the cheapest route for pairs: “"Regular menu entrée item" means a burrito, burrito bowl, single order of three (3) tacos, a salad, or a quesadilla (limited to digital orders only) subject to availability, excluding extra protein, or guac or queso blanco toppings.”
Delivery for a group
The delivery menu prices every item higher ($12.75 for the chicken burrito against $9.80), and the brand’s terms set a minimum and a maximum: “Minimum order $10 USD / $12 CAD excluding tax and fees; maximum item numbers apply as well.” The family meals carry the brand’s note “Limit one per bag” on the ordering menu.
