Curiously, no mention of shutting down on their site that I could see.

So they deliver you the food from their menu? So its just a professional food business with delivery but without the restaurant/dine-in option? So presumably their competition is actual professional restaurants and they're just in the professional food business?
I'm still struggling to understand how this is different from just ordering food delivered from any other food business? The fact that they say...presumably with a straight face...that you reheat their meals suggests to me that they must be pitching to sacrifice quality for convenience, but they seem to want to believe they're upmarket...
Forgive me, it just doesn't compute?
Munchery is pretty good food, with better variety than sf peninsula restaurants, and definitely much healthier, delivered cold to your house. The value is it's waiting when you get home. You reheat it and have a good (sometimes great!) meal in 5 minutes.
As for local restaurants, there's not great delivery options here, particularly if you don't want pizza or sandwiches.
Blue Apron is flailing like crazy - down 80% or so since IPO less than two years ago. And the IPO itself was double digit percentage lower than it was supposed to be in the first place. Can’t imagine how you would jump into the meal kit niche these days.
Interesting, for me it's showing "The Plaid Box", a weekly subscription box.
