About

Food52, a tech-focused food media and e-commerce company, laid off 10% of its staff in early April 2022 as part of a strategic pivot to strengthen its e-commerce operations. This restructuring followed an $80 million investment from the Chernin Group. While the exact number of affected employees wasn't specified, the move came despite the company reporting doubled revenue and achieving profitability in 2020. The layoffs, which left staff feeling "gut-punched," are part of a broader shift that includes recent acquisitions like Schoolhouse and Dansk, and plans to expand into physical retail with pop-up shops and brick-and-mortar stores.
