Zaxby’s Catering Menu (2026 Platter Prices & How to Order)

Feeding a crowd? Platters, Zalads, boxed lunches, and what each one actually costs.

Last checked: Oct 15, 2026 Serves 12–14 per platter Independent guide

Zaxby’s catering is one of those things that sounds complicated but isn’t. You pick a platter, you pick a pickup time, you show up. Most platters serve 12–14 people, and the prices run $17 to $92 depending on what you get. The Chicken Fingerz Platter is the workhorse — it’s what most people order, and for good reason.

Here’s the honest truth: Zaxby’s catering prices vary a lot by location. I’ve seen the Fingerz Platter listed anywhere from $69.99 to $87.49. Same platter, same food, different franchise. So treat the numbers below as ranges, and call your local store for the exact price before you commit.

Zalad Platters for Catering

If you want something lighter than a tray of fried chicken, the Zalad platters are the move. They serve the same 12–14 people and come with dressing on the side.

Zalad Platter Serves Price
House Zalad Platter 12–14 $74.99–$79.15
Cobb Zalad Platter 12–14 $79.99–$91.65
Asian Zensation Zalad Platter 12–14 $90.35
Garden Zalad Platter 12–14 $64.99–$70.10
Caesar Zalad Platter 12–14 $52.99
Blue Zalad Platter 12–14 $52.99

For the full breakdown of what’s in each Zalad, see our Zaxby’s Zalads guide. The Cobb is the most filling — bacon, egg, chicken, cheese. The Garden is the lightest and cheapest.

Boxed Lunches (Zax Packz)

Boxed lunches are the better pick when everyone wants their own meal instead of sharing from a platter. Each box is one person’s lunch, individually packed.

Boxed Lunch Price
Fingerz Boxed Lunch $8.49–$11.99
Nibbler Boxed Lunch $9.99–$10.99
House Zalad Boxed Lunch $12.49
Cobb Zalad Boxed Lunch $13.99
Boneless Wings Boxed Lunch $11.49
Signature Sandwich Boxed Lunch $11.79
Grilled Chicken Sandwich Boxed Lunch $11.29

Boxed lunches typically include fries or a side, a drink, and a cookie. They’re popular for office lunches and team meetings because there’s no sharing and no mess.

Zax Packz (Family-Style Packs)

Zax Packz sit between individual meals and full catering platters. They’re designed for families or small groups — bigger than a meal, smaller than a platter.

  • Chicken Fingerz Zax Packz: ~$38.85–$55.19 — fingerz, fries, toast, sauces
  • Sauced Fingerz Zax Packz: ~$54.20–$60.79 — sauced fingerz with sides
  • Boneless Wings Zax Packz: ~$41.25–$55.19 — boneless wings with sides

If you’re feeding 4–6 people and don’t need a full platter, a Zax Packz is usually the sweet spot. Cheaper per person than individual meals, less food waste than a platter.

Drinks & Extras for Catering

  • Gallon of Sweet Tea: ~$8.60 — serves about 12–16 cups
  • Gallon of Unsweetened Tea: ~$8.60
  • Gallon of Lemonade: ~$14.75
  • Zax Sauce (16 oz): ~$5.99 — buy extra if your group loves the sauce
  • Extra Sauce (8 oz): ~$1.79
  • Coleslaw (catering): ~$10.80

Get the gallon of tea. It’s the best value on the entire catering menu. One gallon covers a dozen people for under $9.

How to Order Zaxby’s Catering

Three ways to order:

  1. Call your local Zaxby’s. This is still the most reliable method, especially for large orders or custom requests. The staff can confirm availability and exact pricing.
  2. Order online at zaxbys.com. Select your location, go to the catering section, pick your platters, and choose a pickup time.
  3. Use ezCater. Zaxby’s partners with ezCater for corporate and event orders. Good if you need delivery and invoicing.

How far ahead? For platters, order at least 24 hours ahead if you can. Same-day orders are sometimes possible for smaller quantities, but don’t count on it for a big event. For boxed lunches (20+ boxes), give them 48 hours.

Catering Tips That Actually Help

  • Order one fewer platter than you think you need. People eat less at events than you expect. One Fingerz Platter plus one Zalad Platter feeds 12–14 comfortably. Two platters for 14 people is usually too much.
  • Get extra Zax Sauce. The platters come with sauce, but it runs out fast. An extra 16 oz tub ($5.99) prevents the awkward “who took the last sauce” moment.
  • The Nibblerz Platter is the budget hero. At $57–$69 for 20 mini sandwiches, it’s the cheapest way to feed a crowd. Kids especially love them.
  • Ask about delivery. Some locations deliver catering orders over a certain amount. Others are pickup-only. Don’t assume.
