“I refuse to give Pooki’s Mahi manufacturing business to firms that lack supply chain processes supporting a technology roadmap, poor supply chain management and is unable to manage inventory for raw goods; these manufacturing firms will never satisfy Pooki’s Mahi requirements, and will always provide lip service (over promise, under deliver).”

"I refuse to give Pooki’s Mahi manufacturing business to firms that lack supply chain processes supporting a technology roadmap, poor supply chain management and is unable to manage inventory for raw goods; these manufacturing firms will never satisfy Pooki’s Mahi requirements, and will always provide lip service (over promise, under deliver)."
Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller approves new Kona coffee pods packaging design paving way to test two-day shipping to the Lower 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii for orders from Pooki’s Mahi® subscription platform.
"Pooki’s Mahi® controls inventory for our retailers, coffee subscribers and loyal customers. Inventory is allocated by performance by sales channel.

Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller adds 100% Kona KaKao coffee pods for customers that enjoy naturally flavored chocolate, cacao, and mocha made from single-origin 100% Kona coffee.
"Pooki’s Mahi Kona KaKao coffee pods are not a fit for customers that cannot afford to pay market prices for 100% Kona coffee pods. Customers buying cheap Kona coffee lack the disposable income and will purchase fraudulent, or counterfeit Kona coffee blends thinking it is 100% Kona coffee."
Pooki’s Mahi ships backlog orders to repeat customers with coffee subscriptions or wholesale coffee club orders; 100% Kona Peaberry coffee sold out in December.
“Pooki’s Mahi’s very high customer retention rate is attributed to an efficient supply chain, expedited shipping, consistent delivery and active brand management. I place a high value on Pooki’s Mahi VIP customers purchasing coffee subscriptions, private label coffee or wholesale coffee club orders. ”CEO Les Magsalay-Zeller launches Kona KaKao™ coffee single serve pods made from naturally dried 100% Kona coffee sourced through direct trade relationships.
"Pooki’s Mahi has stringent process qualifying Kona green coffee bean suppliers. I value green coffee suppliers that uses technology to conduct business online, consistently deliver, easy to collaborate and do not hound Pooki’s Mahi for increasingly large orders. Our coffee subscription and wholesale coffee club customers expect the taste of Kona coffee to match the expensive Kona coffee prices."
Kona Variety Pack launched in 2017 allowing customers to sample 100% Kona coffee prior to buying coffee subscription; feedback from Kona Variety Pack influenced Pooki’s Mahi new Koffee KaKao coffee product line.
"Customers that drink 100% Kona coffee have very specific taste profiles. Customers that are new to specialty coffee or do not drink 100% Kona coffee regularly question the high retail prices for 100% Kona coffees."

Silicon Valley’s private label single serve manufacturer of Hawaiian Kona coffee pods involves customers to expand Kona coffee Decaf pods; Pooki’s Mahi has not confirmed a date when additional Hawaiian decaf single serve cups will ship in 2017.
