Tovala was born from a mission to reinvent home cooking to save people time. Launched in 2017 by passionate culinary-tech duo David Rabie and Bryan Wilcox, Tovala`s fresh, chef-crafted meals and smart oven work together to let customers enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal without the work. Each meal requires one minute of prep time before it`s scanned and cooked perfectly in the Tovala Smart Oven in 20 minutes or less.
The Home Chef team is a unique mix of chefs, creators, entrepreneurs, and trailblazers. By combining our diverse backgrounds, distinct talents, and consistent willingness to support one another, we`re building new ways to navigate the booming meal kit industry. Our team runs on a spirit of autonomy, trust, and inclusion that allows for quick decisions and inventive thinking. Our organic growth is supported by our employee`s constant eagerness to suggest and try new things. It`s the same energy, combined with our customer-first mentality, that landed us Built in Chicago`s Startup of the Year Moxie award. We`re growing quickly, across all departments, locations, and levels. Our extraordinary management team is simultaneously humble and inspiring, taking cues from our CEO who recently was honored as EY`s Entrepreneur of the Year. We encourage our employees to go as far as their ambitions take them while we equally strive to create a fun work environment. We know that fun at work doesn`t always mean a ping pong table - it can mean collaboration, communication, and creating new ideas and projects with your colleagues. If you`re ready to be part of the action, we`re ready to connect with you. There are no limits to where we can go together.
