Our take
Domestic meal kits are nothing new, with companies such as Hello Fresh, Sun Basket, and Blue Apron all crowding the increasingly popular industry. Tovala is a food-tech company attempting to disrupt this market, with a smart oven that eliminates the need for meal preparation.
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 recognises 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 is aiming to expand into new verticals, adding smart oven air fryers to its product line up in early 2023. The first new appliance from the company since 2018, this move is expected to attract new customers and help cement Tovala's market lead.
