Main target audience
Busy working folks - San Diego County, particularly around the coast, is an area with a lot of working professionals in areas such as biotech, technology, video games, etc. These are busy professionals, and yet the work environments tend to be very casual and not at all stuffy. People tend to wear casual clothing to work and are, in general, a health-conscious and active bunch. Many of them are also surfers. That’s why a fast-casual, healthy custom bowl delivery service would work well in this area.
