2. ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY
Beaming was established in San Diego in 2011 as an alternative option for fast and healthy foods, juices, and smoothies using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients to promote a balanced approach to organic nutrition and wellness. The Beaming USD food truck homebase will be in the Marian Way Parking Lot adjacent to The Immaculata, however, we sometimes switch it up and station in other locations on campus but you can always track our current location on the app. Additionally, we utilize a delivery service via our smartphone app allowing you to place an order any and have it delivered to you anywhere on campus.

5. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Beaming USD’s predominant competitive advantage strategy focuses on Differentiation. Additionally, we believe our customers are one of the major driving forces for our success and incorporate aspects of the customer-orientation into our to further support our primary strategy.

6. HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR DIFFERENTIATION
While there are other options on campus for smoothies, grab-and-go food and snacks, and other “healthy” food choices, none are able to compete with our level of dedication to the health and wellness of our products
We are the only on campus business where all of our ingredients and products are 100% vegan. This guarantees that everything that enters our food truck or food prep area (including our juicers, blenders, other appliances, etc.) is also 100% vegan and eliminates any possibility of cross-contamination for those with food allergies or specific dietary requirements.
HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR DIFFERENTIATION

7. EXEMPLARY SERVICE AND PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
At Beaming USD we strive to support local businesses and farmers and use the highest quality ingredients in our products. We understand the hectic and busy lifestyles of USD students, especially during exam time, which is why we incorporate on demand delivery through our app.
Our loyalty program also awards points for all purchases, both in person or delivery, that accumulate and are redeemable for free smoothies or food items.
