Olive Garden Coupons in October 2026

Signing up for Olive Garden's eClub costs nothing and rewards you with free food.

New members get a welcome coupon for a free appetizer or dessert, valued up to $15.49, with the purchase of any adult dinner entrée. Soup and salad don't count toward that requirement. It's a one-time coupon, limited to one per check, so plan to use it on a visit where you're already ordering a main dish.

During your birthday month, Olive Garden emails you a coupon for a free dessert worth up to $11.49, again with the purchase of an adult dinner entrée. The birthday email allows you the full month to redeem your dessert for either dine-in or to-go orders.

eClub members also get early access to limited-run menu items, which is a nice perk but doesn’t offer any savings.

Essentially, the eClub isn't a stream of promo codes. What you're actually getting is two purchase-conditional freebies (welcome and birthday) plus a front-row seat when the seasonal menus and specials return. So if you’re looking for exclusive deep discounts on your order, don’t bother signing up. But if you like the occasional freebie, signing up is worth it.

Before you place an order, check the Specials page. This is where you’ll find their current promotions, like limited-time menu items and meal deals, like the $6 Take-Home entrée or the Buy One, Take One deal when it’s active.

In June 2026, they started promoting their new Calabrian Summer lineup with new dishes starting at $12.99 for a limited time. If you're feeding a group, the Family-Style Meals and Create Your Own Pasta start at $13.99, so a family-size pan of a favorite dish or a complete family bundle stretches your budget across several plates.

Two more deals we found on this page:

• $6 Take-Home Entrées, which allow you to add any entrée to an online or in-restaurant order and take home a freshly prepared, chilled classic for just $6.

• Lunch-Sized Favorites, which are smaller portions at lower prices, are available Monday through Friday before 3 p.m., though pricing varies by location. At the locations we checked, these ran a few dollars below the dinner-size versions. We’ve seen them cost $10 to $13 in Atlanta.

We suggest starting on the Specials page first, since these deals rotate.

When ordering online or in the app, add items to the cart, tap “Checkout,” and look for the “Have a Coupon Code” box. Paste the code there and click “Apply.” Some codes apply to dine-in or delivery only, so be sure to check the details. Each offer is tested before being posted here.

For a large group of people, Olive Garden’s catering service will save you up to 40% compared to ordering individual meals, and you can request a complimentary chafing kit to keep everything warm. Business catering starts at $12 per person with delivery and setup included, and meal combinations that serve 8 to 14 people start at $13.75 per person. Compare that to a single dine-in entrée like Chicken Alfredo at $20.49 or Chicken Parmigiana at $20.29, and the per-plate difference is roughly 40%.

In plain numbers, a group of 20 ordering Chicken Alfredo individually would run about $410 before tax and tip. The same 20 people covered by business catering at $12 per person comes to around $240. Add the 10% delivery fee, and your total lands at $264. That's about $146 less than the individual-order price. So even after the delivery fee, catering keeps you well ahead.

A few ways to build your order:

• Meal Combinations serve 8 to 14 people, starting at $13.75 per person. Available Monday through Friday before 3 p.m., with pricing that varies by location.

• Create Your Own Pasta Station includes house salad and breadsticks, serves groups in multiples of 10, and starts at $13.50 per person.

• Individual Pans each serve 4 to 6 people when you'd rather mix and match, with the Large Lasagna Classico stretching to 12.

To place an order:

1. Visit OliveGarden.com and go to the “Catering” section.

2. Choose car-side pickup or delivery.

3. Pick your items from the catering menu.

Online ordering works for groups of five to 100, and larger events have to be handled over the phone. Delivery orders have a $100 minimum before taxes, coupons, and the delivery fee, so smaller gatherings are a better fit for pickup. The delivery fee is 10% on orders up to $500, then 5% on every dollar above that. Menu prices stay the same whether you pick up or have it delivered, so you're never paying a markup for the convenience.
