Coconut Cartel is the story of Mike and Dani Zig and all the places they’ve called home. Born in Miami to Latin parents, the Zig’s grew up between Miami, Guatemala and El Salvador; often spending weekdays in Central America and weekends in Miami. These two drastically different, yet culturally connected places, are the very inspiration behind Coconut Cartel. As soon as they settled back in Miami, they began their first venture: smuggling’ coconuts in their suitcases from islands off the coast of El Salvador directly to Miami Beach’s best hotels. Creating one of the first ‘instagrammable’ beverages to hit the beaches opened up a lot of doors into the hospitality and spirits industries, allowing them to collaborate with brands such as Soho House, Standard Hotels, The Surf Lodge and into the hands of mega celebrities like Drake, Martha Stewart, HRH Prince Harry Sussex, Cristiano Ronaldo and many more. Coconut Cartel was born. Today Coconut Cartel is keeping the smuggler spirit alive with its coconut water infused, premium rums, Coconut Cartel Special & Coconut Cartel Blanco. Developed with Central America’s best coconut growers and distillers, and delivered straight to the U.S. via the Port of Miami, Coconut Cartel brings the best of the region to the rest of the world in a bottle.

Our story started with a simple mission: to help small business owners across the coffee supply chain be more profitable. Now, were opening up our technology to all makers, flavor mavens, and craftspeople. Join us. Main street brands deserve to stand out in their markets. In todays environment they also need to be able to compete with big businesses on convenience, ordering, and customer engagement. We know because we were made in a cafe. Yave levels the playing field by cutting out middle-man ordering marketplace apps like Uber Eats, and helping you invest directly in your customers. As end-consumers, we want to know where our money is going and the purpose behind the brand names we support. Yave helps you bring your story to life in a beautiful and easy-to-use format. Know your regulars. Grow your regulars. We build beautiful technology that empowers you and your best customers to enjoy maximum value over every single sale. A digital relationship at your point of sale is 300% more valuable than a traditional transactional relationship over the lifetime of your engagement with that customer.
