Cata Debuts Game-Changing All-in-One App Platform for F&B and Retail Operators

Launch your own branded mobile app with omni-channel loyalty, online ordering, and CRM in days—no coding required SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2025 – Cata today launches its groundbreaking commercial Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) app platform for F&B operators and retailers in Singapore and beyond. One of the world’s first, the SaaS white-label app platform enables businesses of any size—from single outlets to global chains across multiple markets—to seamlessly launch their own branded native mobile app for ordering, marketing, omni-channel loyalty programs, CRM and more in days and without upfront investment. Cata’s SaaS app platform is now live in Guzman y Gomez outlets across Singapore. Cata’s SaaS app platform has already been deployed in Singapore with Guzman y Gomez (GYG)—one of Australia’s fastest-growing quick-service restaurant businesses that operates over 230 locations globally—with 21 locations island wide in Singapore and counting. By focusing specifically on chains and Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), Cata has achieved what few startups accomplish on day one—securing established, renowned brands as founding partners rather than starting with smaller independent operators. The restaurant and retail industries, especially chains and QSRs, are at an inflection point. While mobile convenience has become an expectation among consumers—shaped by e-commerce giants and super apps—most F&B and retail businesses still rely on outdated tools: paper-based loyalty cards, manual ordering at the POS, and siloed, unintegrated systems. Rising labor costs and shrinking margins make it increasingly important to look for innovative ways to grow revenues and increase profits. Meanwhile, advanced digital solutions that connect mobile ordering, loyalty, and CRM remain exclusive to global giants like McDonald’s and Starbucks who spend millions on custom development each year and maintain large internal tech teams to secure their competitive edge. For everyone else, building such capabilities is too expensive, too fragmented, and too slow, leaving 99% of the industry digitally underserved and unable to compete. Cata directly addresses these challenges by enabling businesses to rapidly deploy their own fully branded mobile apps without technical knowledge within days, equipped with integrated online ordering, payments, customizable omni-channel loyalty programs, and data-driven CRM, without the need for expensive custom apps that are rarely able to meet evolving customer requirements over time – especially without continuous investment. This democratizes sophisticated digital capabilities previously exclusive to enterprise giants and leading e-commerce platforms. Leveraging robust infrastructure, a holistic and ever-evolving product suite, and deep operational knowledge, Cata is built for global scale from day one and aims to become the invisible infrastructure behind thousands of outlets over the coming years. With Cata, partners can truly know and own their customers for the first time, revolutionizing historically offline industries by transforming anonymous transactions into direct customer relationships, and turbocharge growth via targeted customer acquisition, increased purchasing frequency, and higher basket sizes. “After exploring numerous options, Cata was the only solution that works as a true one-stop platform, eliminating the complex tech stacks we’d otherwise need for a sophisticated app,” says Josh Bell, Principal at Guzman y Gomez Singapore. “What sets Cata apart is their operator-built approach – they understand exactly what F&B businesses need because they’ve been in our shoes. Unlike other providers, Cata works as a genuine partner with aligned incentives through transaction-based pricing, allowing us to launch a premium app without the financial risk of custom development. While we’ve seen competitors spend millions on custom apps that customers ultimately didn’t love, Cata’s platform keeps evolving with customer expectations and delivers the digital convenience our customers actually want, all while driving additional efficiency across our operations.” Cata is aiming to generate up to 5-10x ROI for their partners if fully rolled out. This significant ROI is achieved through the ability to leverage digital marketing channels to drive customer acquisition and retention, significantly increased purchasing frequency and average order values (AOVs), and competitive differentiation via Cata’s omni-channel loyalty platform, data-driven business optimization, and the opportunity for critical POS staffing cost reductions. “Offline retail is at a tipping point. The next generation of physical businesses won’t rely on POS, self-checkout terminals, or cashiers—they’ll run on mobile apps, deep consumer data to power individualized experiences, and automated growth engines. Cata is building the infrastructure to make that future possible. From digital brand exploration and omni-channel online ordering and loyalty to AI-driven campaigns, we’ll put enterprise-grade capabilities into the hands of every merchant—turning daily operations into digital advantage.” said David Brunier, Founder and CEO of Cata. With an initial focus on F&B chains, Cata plans for aggressive geographic expansion from Singapore into developed markets across Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, and the Middle East, with long-term global ambitions to cover verticals including wellness and beauty, convenience stores, groceries, specialty retail, and fashion. Cata’s founding team combines deep domain expertise and proven capability to scale across markets, which include CEO David Brunier (ex-Flash Coffee CEO, ex-Foodpanda CMO), CRO Marija Brunier (ex-Delivery Hero Global Director of International Sales), and CFO Sebastian Hannecker (ex-Flash Coffee COO/CFO, ex-Bain). Cata also secured top regional tech talent by appointing Ashwin Irappa as CPO (ex-Grab Head of Product, ex-Foodpanda Senior Director of Product) and Ali Irawan as CTO (ex-Flash Coffee CTO, ex-Rocket Internet Venture CTO) to complete their management team. Other prominent collaborators and advisors include Anand Thakur (CTPO at Reliance Retail) and Felix Haas (UI/UX Design for Cata, Lovable and Gorillas).

About Cata Cata is a comprehensive white-label SaaS platform that enables restaurants and retail businesses to launch branded mobile apps with enterprise-level features in days, not months.

Vietnam Tells Its 80-Year Journey at a World Top 10 Exhibition Venue

As the first event held at the newly inaugurated Vietnam Exposition Center in Hanoi, the exhibition titled “80 Years of Independence – Freedom – Happiness” has become a symbol of a modern, ambitious, and globally engaged Vietnam. HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2025 – Anyone who finds themselves in Hanoi these days can sense that history is not just something written on faded pages. The memory of President Ho Chi Minh reading Vietnam’s Declaration of Independence before a crowd of half a million people at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi on September 2, 1945, remains vivid in the national consciousness. That moment opened a new chapter for Vietnam after decades of colonial rule. The Vietnam Exposition Center in Hanoi attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors From a war-torn and impoverished country, Vietnam has quietly navigated many turning points. With determination and resilience, the nation has gradually found its place in the world, contributing its own voice to the global chorus. This year’s 80th Independence Day is not just a time for celebration but also a time to look back at Vietnam’s journey. Now, that story is being told in a new way at the “80 Years of Independence – Freedom – Happiness” exhibition, taking place at the new Vietnam Exposition Center in Dong Anh, just outside central Hanoi. A Living Portrait of Eight Decades In late August, crowds from across Vietnam flocked to visit the Vietnam Exposition Center, a project by Vingroup, the nation’s largest private conglomerate by both size and tax contributions, to take part in the grand celebration of Vietnam’s 80th National Day. The exhibition features more than 200 indoor and outdoor displays, weaving together a vivid, multi-dimensional portrait of Vietnam’s transformation over the past eighty years. The exhibition showcases not only Vietnam’s achievements in economics, technology, defense, and education, but also highlights everyday stories of its land and people—simple yet proud moments that reflects the nation’s steady progress, powered by countless individual efforts. What sets this exhibition apart is its use of virtual reality, digital models, and interactive AR/VR presentations, allowing visitors to experience history as if they were truly there. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are packed, with people searching for their own special view within the grand setting. This is more than just a commemorative event. The exhibition is a clear statement that Vietnam is moving forward—open to the world, proud of its identity, and brimming with creativity. A Place Where Ambition Meets Opportunity Sometimes, the medium is just as important as the message itself. And the stage a nation chooses for its story can reveal its aspirations. Seen from this perspective, the Vietnam Exposition Center is more than Southeast Asia’s largest exhibition complex—it is a symbol of Vietnam’s long-term vision for integration and renewal. More than that, the Center bears the hallmark of Vingroup as a strategic brand. With its forward-looking orientation, it is set to become a bridge connecting Vietnamese businesses with the global community through international-scale exhibitions, trade fairs, and major events. From now on, this will be more than a venue for major exhibitions. It is set to become a new hub for Vietnam’s event industry, welcoming the fresh energy of international integration: global music festivals, AI forums, community marathons, conferences—a place where ideas, initiatives, and friendships can flourish. Few people know that to complete the center in time for National Day on September 2, nearly 3,000 workers and engineers worked around the clock. Heavy-duty cranes and cutting-edge machinery from across the country converged on the site. Over more than a year, the project’s owner, Vingroup led a race against time to keep its promise to history and the hopes of many generations. The inauguration coincided with Vietnam’s August Revolution anniversary, and the center was awarded the First-Class Labor Medal, honoring the spirit of daring to dream and daring to deliver. Many may see this exhibition as a chance to reflect on the past. But on a deeper level, both the exhibition and the Vietnam Exposition Center are a real test of Vietnam’s ability to connect and engage with the world today. Once standing on the sidelines, Vietnam now confidently invites international partners to share in its achievements and discuss topics like green development, digital transformation, culture, and creativity. With a packed schedule of events and an expected tens of millions of visitors, this space promises to be a gateway for cooperation, investment, and learning. This is also a national stage: Every festival, art show, sporting event, or global forum held here is a chance to showcase a welcoming, open Vietnam. Here, the power of culture and hospitality will resonate, spreading further than any grand display. Hashtag: #Vingroup The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Decoding Yucun: How a Village’s Inspiring Evolution Illustrating China’s Green Growth Philosophy is showcased on National Ecology Day

HUZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2025 – A series of activities highlighting ecological progress were held on August 15th as the country embraces its third National Ecology Day. The focus is on protecting the ecological environment, addressing climate change and how China’s meteorological departments are taking action. This year it was Yucun Village, nestled in Anji County of Zhejiang Province in eastern China that took center-stage, becoming the most talked-about village in the country during the period. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the pivotal concept “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”—a guiding principle that has steered China’s green transition. Visitors from across the globe have flocked to this scenic village of Yucun where the concept was born, eager to trace the evolution of China’s economy from a resource-driven model to one centered on sustainability. Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, Zhejiang Province Over the past 20 years, this village has undergone a dramatic transformation. It hasn’t just rewritten its own fate; it has also shown how a nation’s commitment to green development can reshape rural landscapes and transform people’s lives. Two decades ago, Yucun was known for a very different reason. In the 1980s and 1990s, the 4.9-square-kilometer village thrived as Anji’s “richest village” thanks to its high-quality limestone reserves. But mining came at a steep ecological cost: “Blasting scared birds from the mountains; sand and gravel filled the air”—a vivid description of its environmental scars. When the village resolved to shut down its mines and cement factories, few anticipated that this move would pave the way for a whole new development path. Today, the stone stele at the village entrance, inscribed with “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets,” stands not only as a symbol of Yucun’s transformed development model but also as a beacon for resource integration. In 2020, Yucun joined forces with four neighboring villages to form a 43-square-kilometer cluster. By the end of 2022, this expanded to 245 square kilometers, linking one town, two townships, and 23 villages. The “Greater Yucun” framework has turned the once-small village into a cross-regional development hub. This expansion is far more than a simple increase in area. As Xu Jinjing, head of Tianhuangping Town, explains: “After closing the mines, we started rural guesthouses and rafting activities—that was Version 1.0 of practicing the green development concept. Now, ‘Greater Yucun’ is building industrial clusters for new economy, new cultural tourism, and new agriculture—that’s a leap to Version 2.0.” The numbers tell the story of this upgrade: In 2024, the average collective operating income of villages in “Greater Yucun” reached 2.82 million yuan, an 11.5% year-on-year increase. Even more striking is the world-class pumped storage cluster here: Tianhuangping and Changlongshan power stations, with a combined installed capacity of 3.9 million kilowatts, have made green energy a new hallmark of “Greater Yucun.” Industrial reforms have revitalized the countryside’s appeal. What was once a village of 280 households (1,060 people) now covers over 40,000 residents under the “Greater Yucun” umbrella. Tourism hit new heights in 2024, with Yucun welcoming 1.22 million visits and the broader “Greater Yucun” area exceeding 10 million. This influx of people reflects a diverse landscape shaped by industrial shifts. Tourists come to savor its ecological beauty; new villagers arrive to seize opportunities in the industrial shifts;local residents enjoy expanding prospects right at their doorstep. Additionally, nearly 80,000 online users have registered as virtual villagers, with some 6,000 adopting farmland via the cloud and participating in local development. “Efficient government services and ecological strengths make this more appealing than any urban office building,” says Duan Yi, CEO of Photoplus, who relocated his company’s headquarters here. Despite growing larger, diversifying its industries, and welcoming more people, Yucun’s ecosystem remains unharmed—this is both the foundation of the concept of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” and one of its core goals. In 2021, Yucun was named one of the first Best Tourism Villages by the World Tourism Organization. Its 10 landmark scenes weave together attractions like lotus pond serenity, Longqing Temple’s spiritual ambiance, and the haunting beauty of abandoned mines. Visitors can take sightseeing buses or scan codes to rent electric vehicles and explore the lanes. At 1,168 meters above sea level, a fairy town on grassland recreates a celestial realm, where mist-shrouded bamboo forests evoke the ethereal mood of the Oscar-winning film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. An 18-kilometer winding mountain road leads to a year-round scenic spot that has become a must-visit for cyclists. Beyond its natural beauty, Yucun buzzes with cultural fusion. Last July, French pianist Richard Clayderman performed in an abandoned mine, his music blending with the rustle of bamboo leaves—a perfect metaphor for ecological transformation. Zhuo Li, who moved from Shanghai, traded the bustle of skyscrapers for a European-style blue villa here, where she runs a mountain biking business. “I came to live and work here because of the stunning scenery and the relaxed rural lifestyle.” Over 20 years, Yucun has shifted from selling limestone to forging a sustainable path where ecology and industry thrive together—a testament to the vitality of green development. As early as 2016, the UN Environment Programme released a report on the concept of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets,” highlighting China’s efforts to integrate ecological progress into national planning. Today, the 572 national ecological civilization demonstration zones and 240 green development bases exploring models like “trading green protection for prosperity” and “turning collective green into shared wealth” all trace their roots to this small village. As “Greater Yucun” continues to grow and more young dreamers arrive, the village is penning more stories of harmony between humans and nature, and of industry and ecology boosting each other.
