Invoq: The Combi Oven That Redefines Kitchen Efficiency

As a foodservice consultant, you strive to recommend equipment that empowers your clients to run leaner, smarter, more profitable operations. In today’s competitive environment, chefs and operators need solutions that deliver speed, consistency, and exceptional quality—without compromising sustainability. Enter Invoq by Lincat: the combi oven that’s set to transform kitchen workflows.

Why Recommend Invoq?

At first glance, the Invoq may appear sleek and simple. But beneath the surface lies one of the most advanced ovens ever produced. Launched in 2023 after a six-year collaboration between six Middleby brands (including Lincat), the Invoq range is the result of global expertise and true industry insight.

Paul Godfrey, Director of Sales & Marketing for Lincat and Hounö, put it best: “It was fantastic for Lincat to contribute to Invoq’s development from the early stages. I’m thrilled we can now offer this oven to our customers.”

Designed with input from chefs, kitchen designers, and consultants, Invoq is tailored for modern foodservice environments—from restaurants to supermarkets to institutional kitchens.
