Raising Cane's Catering: Tailgate Sizes, Prices & Ordering (2026)

Does Raising Cane's do catering?

Yes. Raising Cane's caters through its Tailgates and group orders, which you can order online, in the Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers app or by contacting your local restaurant. Several store pages we checked on the Raising Cane's locator include an Order Catering link.

Cane's catering is simpler than most chains' because the menu is simple. There are no wraps, salads or dessert trays. You choose how many chicken fingers you want, add sides, and pick up gallons of tea or lemonade if you need drinks. Raising Cane's says the fingers are hand-battered and cooked to order, so even a big tray comes out fresh.

The chain offers two ways to feed a group: Tailgates, which are fingers and sauce in bulk, and group ordering, where everyone picks their own combo through a shared link.

What are the Raising Cane's Tailgate sizes, and how many people do they feed?

The Raising Cane's menu lists four standard Tailgate sizes, from a 25-finger box that feeds 6 to 8 people to a 100-finger order for 27 to 29. Each comes with roughly one Cane's Sauce for every three fingers, served in individual cups or a shareable Family Style container.

Raising Cane's tells hosts to plan on 3 to 4 fingers per person, and the feed counts follow that rule. Bigger orders are possible: the chain's large-order page says Tailgates run from 25 up to 300 pieces.

A Tailgate is chicken and sauce only. People sometimes search for a Raising Cane's platter or party tray expecting a full spread, but there is no official platter with sides built in. If you want fries, toast and slaw for everyone, add them as separate items, or order individual combos instead (see the last section).

How much is Raising Cane's catering?

Raising Cane's does not publish catering prices; your restaurant's price appears in the app or online once you pick a store. Our estimated typical U.S. prices put 25 fingers at about $41.99, 50 at about $79.99, 75 at about $115.99 and 100 at about $149.99.

By those estimates, the price per finger falls as the order grows, from about $2.12 when you buy 4 Chicken Fingers for $8.49 to about $1.68 in a 25-finger order and $1.50 in a 100-finger order. The table lists each size with its feed count, sauces, estimated price and the calories in the chicken.

Delivery apps charge more than the restaurant. On one California DoorDash listing in November 2026, the Box Combo was $13.39, compared with our typical in-store estimate of about $11.49. For a large order, compare the price in the Raising Cane's app before you use a third-party service.

How much does Raising Cane's catering cost for a group?

For a rough budget, Raising Cane's catering costs about $7 to $9 a person once you add bread and drinks to a Tailgate. Here is an example for 15 people using our estimated typical prices:

• 50 Chicken Fingers (Tailgate size that feeds 13 to 15): about $79.99, with 16 Cane's Sauces.
• 15 slices of Texas toast at about $1.79 each: about $26.85.
• Two gallons of sweet tea at about $7.49 each: about $14.98.

That comes to about $121.82 before tax, or roughly $8.12 per person. Swapping one gallon of tea for a gallon of lemonade (about $9.49) adds about $2. Large fries are about $4.79 each and coleslaw about $1.99, so a few orders of each round out the meal without adding much per head.

How do you order Raising Cane's catering?

You order Raising Cane's catering through the Order Catering or Order Now links on raisingcanes.com, in the Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers app, or by calling your restaurant.

For group ordering, Raising Cane's lays out the steps this way:

1. Create an account and choose your restaurant.
2. Share the group link so each person can add their own order.
3. Check out and pick up the whole order together.

Raising Cane's does not publish a required lead time for Tailgates. Our suggestion: for anything over 50 fingers, or for a pickup at noon on a weekday or before a game, call your restaurant a day or more ahead so the kitchen can plan. The large-order page tells customers to contact their local Raising Cane's with questions, and that is also the best way to ask about delivery, which varies by store.

Is there a Raising Cane's catering coupon?

No. Raising Cane's does not publish coupon codes for catering, and we did not find any official promo code on its site. Codes posted on coupon sites do not come from Raising Cane's, as far as we could find.

The closest thing to a discount is the Caniac Club. Members get a free Box Combo after signing up and verifying their email, a free drink on their birthday and an offer on their club anniversary, plus occasional member-only promotions. The club rules do not say whether offers apply to Tailgates, so ask before you count on one for a catering order. Our fast food rewards apps guide compares Cane's with other programs.

Should you order Tailgates or individual combos for a group?

Order Tailgates when you want a buffet and combos when everyone needs a ready-to-hand-out meal. Raising Cane's itself suggests individual combos for large groups because they are easy to plan and pass around.

The trade-off is price. A Box Combo is about $11.49 at typical prices, so 15 of them cost about $172 before tax, compared with roughly $122 for the Tailgate spread above. Combos include fries, coleslaw and a drink for each person, though, so you skip the gallons and the serving spoons. See our Raising Cane's Box Combo guide for what each one includes.
