Several Bay Area businesses said they are dealing with unpaid bills across the board after a local startup and food delivery company suddenly shut down.
While Winston said that this isn’t going to break her business, she still thinks it all could have been handled better, especially after hearing about what happened to other business owners.
“People are really outraged, you know. It’s a problem. As a small food business, you have to extend credit,” Winston said. NBC Bay Area learned Saturday that one of the bigger tabs was left at Berkeley-based Starter Bakery, as Zero Grocery owes them about $25,000, according to a spread sheet. There are several other Bay Area businesses in the same boat. This includes Kneaded Bakery in San Leandro, where owner Iliana Berkowitz said the company owes them nearly $5,000.
“I operate a relatively small business, in that I have around 20 employees. $5,000 is several people’s wages in a two-week period,” she said.But on social media, the company recently posted that fundraising had been their biggest battle.
