About Tawila

We're on a mission to empower restaurant owners with technology that helps them succeed. Built by people who've worked in restaurants, for people who run restaurants.

Our Story

We are Sudanese. We both ran businesses back in Sudan. Starting over in a new country, we experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating unfamiliar systems.

We watched our friends—brilliant chefs who had also fled conflict—struggle with the same barriers. They could create incredible food, but they faced unfamiliar systems and technology companies failed to meet their needs.

We saw how third-party delivery apps were taking 15-35% of hard-earned revenue, making it nearly impossible for small restaurants to thrive. We knew there had to be a better way.

And that's why we started Tawila in 2024. Tawila means "Restaurant's Table" in Arabic, a metaphor for togetherness. We provide a complete operating system designed specifically for immigrant restaurant owners—with zero commission fees, transparent pricing, and support from people who truly understand the journey.

Our goal is simple: Help restaurant owners from day zero, from getting their first 100 orders to scaling sustainably.
