Noodles & Company doesn’t list a teacher discount right now. THANKSTEACHERS, the code with the teacher name on it, was a catering offer tied to Teacher Appreciation Week, and it expired on May 17, a week after that year’s Teacher Appreciation Week ended.
Nothing on Noodles’ website points teachers to a code today, so a listing that still shows THANKSTEACHERS as a standing $15 off is out of date. If you’re ordering for a staff lunch or a PD day, here’s what the offer was and where things stand now.
How To Get The Noodles & Company Teacher Discount
Right now there’s nothing to claim. Noodles’ home page and its catering page don’t mention a teacher offer, so a staff lunch order is a regular catering order for the time being. Before you place one, ask your nearest location whether it has any promotion running, since that’s the one place a current deal would turn up.
What The Offer Was
Noodles announced it the week before Teacher Appreciation Week, which ran May 6 to 10 that year. Noodles Rewards members got $15 off a catering order of $100 or more by entering THANKSTEACHERS at checkout. You had to be logged in to your Noodles Rewards account, and each member could use the code once.
It couldn’t be combined with other discounts, and it only worked at participating Noodles locations. Noodles opened it to parents and school administrators as well as classroom teachers, so the only real requirement was a Rewards login and an order big enough to clear the $100 minimum.
Why It Was A Catering Offer
Noodles pitched it as a way to have a special lunch catered for the educators in your building. That’s why the discount only applied to catering orders: it was never a discount on a single dinner or a to-go order for yourself, and a smaller order under the $100 minimum didn’t qualify.
Where To Look For Other Food Discounts
Restaurant offers for teachers tend to come with conditions, like a participating-locations list or a school ID at the register. The food and drink discounts for teachers section lists the ones that have a program you can use today, and each guide says how to claim it.
