Restaurant Company Cutting 500 Jobs As Layoffs Surge In NJ

Wonder, the food-tech and delivery company known for partnerships with chefs like Bobby Flay and Michael Symon, is cutting 533 New Jersey positions, with layoffs wrapping up by January 8. The news lands just as Wonder finalized a $425 million partnership with DoorDash, and it’s part of a broader September surge that has pushed statewide layoff announcements past 1,000 jobs, with cuts also hitting Merck, Fiserv, and several other employers across NJ.
