The meal-kit company suddenly shut down its services on Monday, July 16. By Tuesday, the company’s website stopped accepting customers’ orders, according to Business Insider.

Founder and CEO Kyle Ransford sent an email to more than 350 employees on Monday evening saying, “We have had some unexpected circumstances with the funding for the business. Due to setbacks with financing, unfortunately, we are ceasing operations for all employees, effective today, July 16, 2018.”

The news comes on the heels of the company’s recent partnership with Walgreens, a deal that entitled Chef’d to sell its boxed meal kits at 30 Walgreens and Duane Reade locations in the New York area.
