Tovala

Tovala offers customers both an oven and the option to sign up to a rotating weekly meal delivery service. Boasting a single minute of prep-time for adding the final touches, the system works by scanning the meal's QR code so that the oven can run the associated cook cycle. The oven also recognizes over a thousand name-brand products, and has hundreds of presets for when users want to cook for themselves.

Despite competing with a pile of other meal-kit services, Tovala's clear stand-out feature is the oven, with nothing similar offered by competitors. The company has served more than 45M meals and is now expanding with the recent announcement of a new food processing facility in Winfield, Illinois. This new facility will provide even more capacity to serve the company's growing customer base.
