His dad is a former cook who&#8217;s helped open lots of restaurants. When he was a kid, he learned to cook in the kitchen alongside his father. When his dad&#8217;s health kept him from working, Giovani took over \u200ccooking for his family, and that&#8217;s where his passion grew. Now he\u2019s learning everything he needs to run a restaurant and carry on his father\u2019s legacy with Intuit\u2019s free entrepreneurship resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m following in his footsteps\u2026he\u2019s very proud and excited about what the future has for me,\u201d Giovani shared. His father remains one of his biggest supporters, often visiting him while he&#8217;s working on the food truck.

Before it, he wasn&#8217;t sure if he should attend culinary school or college. Working on the food truck and learning how to run a business using the tools Intuit provides gave him real-world experience to help him make his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not gonna lie. I was lost for a couple of years\u2026I was indecisive. I didn&#8217;t know what to do,\u201d Giovani said. \u201cThen, I joined the culinary program, and the opportunities just kept on opening. And I just kept on taking them like this food truck.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Life on and off the business on-wheels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Food truck life is a mix of hard work and a great learning experience. A typical day starts early, prepping food in the kitchen so you can quickly cook and serve customers at an event. Giovani helps get everything ready and loaded onto the truck before heading out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Poly Prime food truck also taught Giovani valuable skills beyond cooking. He says working on it improved his communication, patience, and ability to lead, all essential for running a successful business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s even gotten a lesson in crisis management 101 through real-world challenges. For example, the cooking students at their school had to quickly remake all their ice cream sandwiches when the freezer broke right before an event. They got it done just in time for the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And beyond these skills, the truck is a place for building deep, lasting friendships. \u201cIt\u2019s been amazing\u2026so many opportunities, so many experiences, memories made, friends made. Yeah, it\u2019s been such an awesome experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg 3600w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=740,493 740w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=1440,960 1440w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IntuitFoodTruckStudent-86-ALT2.jpg?resize=720,480 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s cooking in Giovani\u2019s future?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduation, Giovani&#8217;s excited to go to culinary school and is considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.edu\/campuses\/losangeles\" target=\"_blank\">The Institute of Culinary Education<\/a>. He plans to gain experience at different restaurants. With the entrepreneurship skills he learned from the Intuit Food Truck program, he\u2019s confident in his business abilities and dreams of opening a barbecue restaurant in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giovani&#8217;s story shows how Intuit&#8217;s program, along with real-world experience, has inspired him to pursue his dream of opening his own restaurant. For him, the saying rings true: &#8220;If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.&#8221; From events to cooking to cleaning, he finds joy in every part of running the Poly Prime food truck. &#8220;This is what I love doing. This is what I&#8217;ve always loved doing, and this is what I want to continue to do,&#8221; he said. He looks forward to serving people, greeting them with a smile, and making sure they enjoy his food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing from the Intuit Food Truck program, family inspiration, and hard work, Giovani is building a culinary future and is ready to serve up success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Intuit Food Truck Program offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on culinary and entrepreneurial skills, just like it did for Giovani.
