Tips to Save on Chipotle Catering

Pick Chicken + Sofritas as your 2 proteins

For bars, chicken is the crowd pleaser and sofritas keeps vegetarians happy. Steak adds cost if you pick it as one of your proteins.

Skip bottled water, bring your own

Buying water through Chipotle catering adds $2.50-$3.00 per person. A Costco water flat costs a fraction of that for large groups.

Order chips by the bag separately

The chips and salsa add-on is per person at $3.25. For large groups, you can buy chip bags directly at the counter at check-in for less.

Use the Chipotle Rewards app

Chipotle Rewards points apply to catering orders placed through the app. Large catering orders earn significant points for future free items.

Order 48 hours ahead for big events

Last-minute catering orders risk the restaurant being out of a protein or unable to fulfill the quantity. 48 hours removes this risk entirely.

Request labeled burritos for allergy tracking

For burritos by the box, ask Chipotle to label each one with the protein inside. Helps with allergy management and avoids wrong-order chaos at events.
