Portillo's

We served hot dogs with a side of elegance—and the internet ate it up. 🌭☕️   Our first-ever Hot Dog High Tea, in partnership with Chain and Jameson (Irish Distillers), invited guests to indulge in a three-tiered tower of bite-sized, gourmet versions of our most iconic menu items. The event series kicked off on 3/26 in Chicago and has already garnered over 200 million social impressions from our enthusiastic guests!   It’s always a blast to partner and bring our brand to life in bold, creative ways. Next stops: New York City on 4/4 and Los Angeles on 4/9. Let’s keep the fun (and the franks) rolling!

We are excited that our guests and teams will finally get to relish participating in our first-ever loyalty program, Portillo's Perks! This app-less program was designed to integrate directly into a guest or team members' digital wallet, making it easier than ever to enjoy personalized rewards.   With Portillo's Perks, each visit brings guests closer to exciting badges and exclusive offers tailored to your dining habits. New members receive a welcome reward of free large French fries, and as they continue to visit, they'll unlock additional perks like free menu items and retail merchandise. The program works seamlessly across all ordering channels—in-restaurant, drive-thru, and our website and online ordering app.   "Portillo's Perks reflects our commitment to enhancing the guest experience in our own unique way," said Michael Osanloo, President and CEO of Portillo's. "The digital wallet approach allows us to truly personalize offers, so we're able to surprise and delight our guests with easy access and relevant rewards that make each visit engaging, whether it's their first time or their hundredth."

Portillo's has some exciting plans in place for 2025! We're focused on accelerating traffic, enhancing operational excellence, and expanding our geographic footprint to deliver value to our team members, guests and shareholders.
