True Food Kitchen Raised $100 Million in 2022. It Entered Bankruptcy With Two Weeks of Cash.

True Food Kitchen, the health-food restaurant chain backed by Oprah Winfrey, filed for Chapter 11 on Sunday and closed 12 of its 46 restaurants. It had about $1.6 million of unrestricted cash, enough for roughly two weeks, and $42.1 million of funded debt, including merchant cash advances. The investor that led its $100 million round in 2022 is now lending it $20 million to stay open while it looks for a buyer.
