What that looks like in Irvine.
In Diamond Jamboree the competition is the shop next door, and the difference is whether the customer can order from the parking lot and skip the line. Pre-order on your own page with a saved usual, a browser loyalty card with no app, and the seasonal drink posted as text the day it launches keep the UCI crowd coming to you. Late-night hours go on the first screen, because that is when the lot fills.
Office orders are Irvine’s steady revenue. The Business Complex near John Wayne Airport and the Spectrum towers order pastry boxes, coffee carafes and cakes for the team, and they want a catering page with per-dozen pricing, a form that asks the date, the headcount and the lobby address, and an invoice. A corporate account page turns one office manager into an order every week.
The Great Park villages add families every month with no bakery yet. They search for a birthday cake near their village and pick from the map pack. A cake form with a reference photo and a deposit, a Google Business Profile that matches the site, and a page for the northern villages, Portola Springs, Great Park, Orchard Hills, put you in front of households that will order every birthday for a decade.
