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.

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.
