Tovala

Tovala is a meal kit and smart oven company based in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 2015 by David Rabie and Bryan Wilcox, Tovala aims to reinvent the way people eat by combining the ease of meal delivery with advanced cooking technology. The company’s flagship product, the Tovala Smart Oven, allows users to cook meals with minimal effort. These ovens utilize various cooking methods, including baking, broiling, air frying, and steaming, all controllable via a mobile app. This innovative approach not only simplifies meal preparation but also caters to busy lifestyles, making home cooking accessible to everyone.

With an extensive menu that features chef-crafted meals, Tovala caters to a wide range of dietary preferences, delivering fresh, seasonal meals right to customers' doors. The cooking process is designed to be straightforward: after selecting a meal, customers only need to scan a barcode with the oven to initiate the cooking cycle, which is perfectly timed for each dish. Tovala has raised significant venture capital since its founding, achieving a total of $68.6 million and reportedly delivering over 31 million meals to date. With its strong community following and commitment to quality, Tovala continues to thrive in the food tech space, helping people enjoy tasty, hassle-free meals without the stress of meal planning and cooking.
