Pioneering Growth: Mr. Kakooza Ibrahim to Lead GAEAT and Garide Launch in Uganda

We are delighted to announce that Mr. Kakooza Ibrahim has been appointed as the new Head of Operations in Uganda. In his role, Mr. Ibrahim will lead the highly anticipated introduction of our core platforms, GAEAT and Garide, into the Ugandan market, beginning on 9 December 2024. This significant expansion marks an exciting new chapter for taxi drivers, restaurants, and liquor stores across Uganda, as they gain access to transformative solutions designed to enhance their operations and spur growth.

Revolutionizing the Market with Garide and GAEAT

Garide is an innovative taxi-hailing platform that provides ride-sharing and parcel delivery services. It aims to offer an efficient and reliable transport solution tailored to meet the growing demands of urban mobility in Uganda.

GAEAT, our food and drink platform, empowers restaurants and liquor stores—our “merchants”—by allowing them to list menus and beverage items. This opens new pathways for self-pickup and delivery options for customers, creating a seamless and modern dining experience.

Case Study: Rising Demand for Food Delivery

The burgeoning demand for food delivery services in Uganda cannot be overstated. As urban centers grow and lifestyles change, more Ugandans are opting for the convenience of food delivery. Several local startups have demonstrated this demand, but many lack scalability and technological sophistication. GAEAT enters this burgeoning market with an intent to elevate these services, streamlining operations for merchants and enriching the consumer experience with reliable, efficient, and diverse choices.

Case Study: The Necessity of Taxi-Hailing Platforms

The transportation sector in Uganda is poised for transformation, as seen with the growth of taxi-hailing services. Existing platforms have set the stage for market validation, proving that Ugandans value the convenience, safety, and reliability these services offer. However, challenges such as inconsistent service and lack of coverage still persist. Garide aims to address these shortcomings by offering a comprehensive and technologically robust solution, tailored to adapt to local needs and scaled for widespread impact.

Vision and Mission

Vision: Our vision is to empower communities through innovative technological solutions that elevate local businesses, foster connections, and drive economic prosperity in Uganda.

Mission: Our mission is to deliver exceptional platforms that transform how Ugandans commute and dine. By providing reliable, convenient, and sustainable solutions, we aim to be a catalyst for growth and progress in the Ugandan market.

Looking Ahead:

As Mr. Kakooza Ibrahim leads this initiative, his expertise and insight will be invaluable in navigating the unique demands and opportunities of the Ugandan market. Under his stewardship, we are confident that GAEAT and Garide will not only meet but exceed the expectations of our partners and users.

Excitement is building as we prepare for the 9 December 2024 launch. This rollout promises to set new standards in service delivery within the taxi and food sectors, and we look forward to establishing lasting partnerships with local communities.

We invite local businesses, stakeholders, and the public to join us in embracing this new era of convenience and growth. Stay connected for further updates as we get closer to launching a brighter future for Uganda’s economy and society.
