“Meeting with Jose gave me confidence to understand that anyone can manage and operate their own website while continuing to learn and grow online. After all, we all rely on Google and social media to discover everything from date night spots to tomorrow’s lunch. Through the program, I was able to save money, promote my business, and take pride in my food truck. It’s been a game-changer for Buenos Diaz Food Truck.” – Chef Luis Diaz, Buenos Diaz Food Truck.
