Noodles and Company Fundraiser- TONIGHT!
In addition to in-restaurant sales, we are now opening up our fundraisers to online sales as well. For online and Noodles Rewards app orders, guests can apply the coupon code, “GIVING25” in the Coupon Code line at checkout. Ordering online is quick and easy and allows guests to skip the line by grabbing their meal at our Quick Pick-Up station or where pick up windows are present. This is a great option for guests who prefer to dine at home or on-the-go but still want to support your organization.
When ordering, in-restaurant guests must mention your organization or present the flyer upon placing your order prior to paying.
