About Yama Seafood
“When we decided to open a pie shop in New York City, we were hard pressed to find anyone focusing exclusively on pies in a truly handmade way, using seasonal and fresh ingredients sourced from local orchards.
Sure, plenty of bakeries made and carried pies, but not pies like ours; and we didn’t know of any places in the neighborhoods we frequented that were dedicated exclusively to the experience of sitting down and eating a slice of freshly baked, handmade pie with a cup of coffee; and that is exactly what we wanted to create: a local pie shop.”
How everything started
Q: How did the business begin?
Jonathan Moscoso: “Yama Seafood has been in business for decades, but our e-commerce division was born out of necessity during the pandemic. Without any formal training, we developed processes and operations to reach more customers.”
Q: What do you think made Yama Seafood successful as a business?
Jonathan Moscoso: “Customer service has always been our pillar. We stay available, responsive, and ensure orders are delivered properly. That reliability built trust, especially during the pandemic.”
Q: When was your proudest moment?
Jonathan Moscoso: “Being able to implement Metrobi as our last-mile delivery partner, along with our air cargo shipments, allowed us to safely deliver products to more customers efficiently.”
