Nerds On Tap

From the deck of a Navy ship to the heat of a bustling kitchen, Geo Zelaya's journey isn't your everyday culinary tale. Grab a seat at our table on Nerds On Tap as we savor the flavors of his authentic Latin cuisine and discover how Tacos El Fluffy came to be a community staple. Geo's story is a testament to the power of passion and innovation, and he's serving up insights on how to blend the art of food with the science of technology to create a thriving business.
What happens when you mix a dash of AI with a pinch of locally sourced ingredients? You get a recipe for restaurant success, something Geo knows all about. We unwrap the secrets behind his tech-savvy approach to restaurant management, from inventory wizardry to marketing genius, and discuss why knowing where our food comes from is more important than we might think. So, whether you're a foodie, a tech enthusiast, or an aspiring entrepreneur, there's a slice of wisdom here for everyone.
We round off our chat with a heartening look at the impact of mentorship and the significance of community spirit. Geo pours out tales of how Take Stock in Children has been a beacon of hope and how his own experiences with mentorship have shaped the lives around him. It's not just about the tacos and the tech; it's about how investing in people and local businesses can transform communities. Join us for a conversation that's as enriching as it is appetizing, right here on Nerds On Tap.
