Singapore, 23 June 2020 – Even as most of CapitaLand’s shopping mall tenants have reopened or are progressively gearing up to reopen their physical stores under Singapore’s Phase 2 Safe Transition, CapitaLand is ramping up its twin digital platforms eCapitaMall and Capita3Eats (pronounced as “capita-treats”), with a vision to help more retailers achieve bricks and clicks sales in a post-COVID-19 era. Since launching on 1 June 2020 via CapitaStar app, both platforms have signed on more than 280 online merchants from CapitaLand’s retail ecosystem, and are on track to onboard 500 online merchants by the end of 2020.
CapitaLand launched eCapitaMall and Capita3Eats to help connect retailers with shoppers digitally 24/7.
Mr Chris Chong, Managing Director, Retail, CapitaLand Singapore, said: “As a retail ecosystem provider, CapitaLand is committed to partnering our retailers in adapting to the post-COVID-19 new normal. One key focus area is helping retailers take advantage of the opportunities arising from the strength of CapitaLand’s online presence to drive sales to their physical stores. With this objective in mind, we launched eCapitaMall and Capita3Eats to connect retailers with shoppers digitally 24/7. In addition to generating online sales, CapitaLand’s twin digital platforms support retailers in enhancing their in-store customer experience with pre-ordering and click-and-collect options.”
“Since launching eCapitaMall and Capita3Eats three weeks ago, we have been encouraged by the positive reception from shoppers, as well as retailers alike who are keen to tap the more than one million CapitaStar members in Singapore and marketing reach through CapitaLand’s extensive physical network. We are excited to further enhance the shopping experience and features on both platforms to ensure that retailers and shoppers benefit from CapitaLand’s retail offerings, online and offline.”

- Ms Clara Cheo, Chief Executive, Golden Village
Grafunkt
“As a furniture store that offers customisation options, allowing customers to touch and feel the physical products and swatch options to complete their purchase journey is a big part of our retail strategy. While we are embracing the new norm this season, we also do not want to compromise on this personal and physical aspect. eCapitaMall arose as an opportunity for us to adopt an omnichannel approach to reach out to existing and new customers both physically, and digitally, in a seamless manner. We appreciate being able to continue engaging our customers physically in-store or via our digital concierge, availing our help and rendering support as per our customers' needs as they browse between our digital and physical stores. Albeit a new platform, eCapitaMall is well-equipped with a broad base of existing, loyal customers, and coupled with the established CapitaStar programme, creates an even more unified shopping experience for customers. It is a platform that complements our services by enhancing our digital reach whilst still connecting back to our physical roots.”
- Mr Jefery Kurniadidjaja, Co-Founder, Grafunkt
MUJI
“It was in our plans to build our own ecommerce platform, but because of COVID-19 and the circuit breaker, we’ve accelerated the decision to jump onto the online business bandwagon. CapitaLand’s initiative to launch eCapitaMall is timely as customers are able to continue shopping for their favourite items in a safe environment and in the comfort of their homes. CapitaLand is our trusted landlord who has been meeting the needs of our shoppers even before COVID-19. With CapitaLand’s ecommerce platform, retailers can continue to operate sales from both online and brick-and-mortar, while also carrying out collaborative marketing across the two platforms. Such digital innovation aligns with MUJI’s marketing strategy as we work towards a whole new level of retailing in this ever-changing world.”
- Mr Yuki Yamamoto, Managing Director, MUJI (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.
Primer Group
“Building the omnichannel experience can bring huge value for retailers, e-tailers and vertical integrated players with a direct-to-consumer business as more customers tend to shop and buy online, and customers that pick up online orders in-store often make additional in-store purchases as well. We are grateful to have CapitaLand as a landlord to help us in integrating our online and offline needs so that we can serve our customers more efficiently.”
- Mr Mark Chim, Managing Director & Senior Vice President, Primer Group
Urban Revivo
“Many customers are now enjoying the convenience of shopping from home 24/7 and this trend will continue even after stores reopen. We are highly supportive and believe that eCapitaMall is an important channel for retailers like ourselves who can tap on CapitaStar’s large base of more than one million CapitaStar members.”
- Ms Pamela Tan, Vice President of International Business, Urban Revivo
Quotes from Capita3Eats tenants
Godmama
“Through Capita3Eats, we are able to reach out to a wider customer base, beyond just patrons of Funan. We are no longer limited to the restaurant space, so our growth potential has increased as well. The platform has also helped us along our digital innovation path, both by making Godmama’s food more accessible to a larger audience, and by increasing order management efficiency.”
- Ms Christina Keilthy, Founder & Co-Owner, Godmama
Harry’s
“As one of Singapore’s largest chain of F&B establishments, Harry’s has a longstanding history of 28 years serving over a million customers every year.

- Mr Nasen XT, Chief Executive Officer, Harry’s International
Japan Food Holdings
“Japan Foods Holding operates over 20 restaurants in CapitaLand malls. During the circuit breaker, a number of our restaurants faced an uphill battle to keep the business afloat, mainly due to reduced footfall at the malls and the restriction of dine-in services. Luckily, CapitaLand reacted swiftly to aid its merchants in overcoming challenges. CapitaLand has put in a lot of effort to launch its own delivery and takeaway platform, Capita3Eats so that we can continue to serve our customers with an online presence. This has not only helped us to reach a new large group of potential customers, but our existing fans can also place orders from our restaurants and have our delicacies delivered to their doorstep - all done in just a few clicks!
We believe now is the critical time for business transformation, given the post-COVID lifestyle. Capita3Eats has given us a good start for our organisation’s digital transformation. The result of the platform is definitely a successful one so far, we are looking forward to working alongside CapitaLand to enhance the dining experience of our customers, be it serving our diners at their homes or in our restaurants.”
- Mr Kenichi Takahashi, Chairman, CEO & Founder, Japan Foods Holding Ltd
Joe & Dough
“As we move to a new normal, we will not see an immediate return to usual life for quite some time. The eating haits of most people have changed and there will be a greater shift to food delivery. Capita3Eats will help to grow our business, expand our online presence to reach new customers and also connect with our existing customers without them physically visiting our outlets.”
- Mr Damien Koh, Co-Founder and Director, Joe & Dough
Minor Food
“Being innovative is one of Minor Food Singapore’s core values and it has always been in our company’s DNA to embrace innovation. This unprecedented time has provided an even stronger push factor for us to rapidly adopt an omnichannel approach instead of relying mainly on the brick-and-mortar model. The launch of Capita3Eats is steered in the direction towards driving digital innovation and we see the opportunity and potential for us to leverage this channel to reach out to a wider customer base and garner a greater online presence. This is also in tandem with the online-to-offline strategy that Minor Food is currently adopting. As such, our F&B stores within CapitaLand malls have come onboard this initiative. We are happy to share that the response has been good and we have incremental orders coming through islandwide on a daily basis.”
- Mr Dellen Soh, Chairman & CEO, Minor Food Singapore
Nando’s

Capita3Eats provides an ecommerce platform complete with delivery partners so our customers can enjoy Nando’s with great convenience.”
- Mr Moji Neshat, General Manager, Nando’s Singapore
Nanjing Impressions
“Digitalisation for traditional businesses like F&B took on a new meaning as the business environment changed. Capita3Eats helped us in achieving our digital strategy so that we can connect our brand to new and existing customers through a platform with over one million CapitaStar members and the flexibility of conducting in-house promotions within the app itself.”
- Mr Richard Teo, General Manager, Nanjing Impressions
Octapas
“Being in the F&B industry for 16 years now, Octapas Spanish Tapas Bar and Restaurant is one of the F&B brands in the country that has stood the test of time. Relying heavily on regulars, expats and tourists in Clarke Quay, we have always focused on providing the best experience for everyone. Going forward, we foresee an increase in home deliveries and takeaways. With Capita3Eats tied in with our delivery and takeaway platform, this has given us an edge to increase sales beside our usual dine-in. Be it dine-in or home delivery, we will ensure that the quality of our food will be beyond perfection.”
- Mr Sonny Nolasco Luces, Managing Director, Octapas Pte Ltd
