Comic-Con Week Business Tech Check

⚡ The Whole Offer in Four Sentences

Comic-Con takes over downtown July 22-26: on the order of 130,000 badge holders plus the unbadged wave that comes for the scene, all funneling through Gaslamp and East Village on overloaded cellular. That crowd will try to find you, book you, and pay you, and any broken link fails during a month of volume compressed into five days. For $150, same day, I test every customer-facing flow like a real attendee (payments, bookings, contact buttons, Google hours, QR codes, mobile checkout) and hand you a ranked fix list, quick fixes done on the spot. Text 858-461-8054 by Tuesday and it's done before preview night.

The stress test is scheduled. July 22, downtown, everyone at once. The only question is whether your systems meet it checked or unchecked.

One operator in Solana Beach. I'll walk you through what gets checked, why mobile-on-congested-cellular is the killer during convention week, and what the ranked fix list looks like.

What Gets Checked (Like a Real Attendee Would Hit It)

SystemWhat I test
Payment linksEvery pay/deposit/order link clicked through to completion on mobile
Booking + reservation formsSubmitted end to end, confirmations verified, date-picker sanity for show-week dates
Contact buttonsCall, text, email, directions: every button pressed on a real phone
Google Business ProfileHours vs your ACTUAL show-week hours, menu/booking links, the #1 silent killer during events
Mobile speed on congested cellularConvention crowds saturate downtown towers; a site that needs 8 seconds loses to the one next door
QR / menu / order codesEvery posted code scanned fresh; dead QR codes love convention week
Follow-up flowWhat happens after someone reaches out mid-rush, does anything answer

FAQ

What is the Comic-Con Week Tech Check?
A $150 same-day check of every system the Comic-Con crowd will hit at your business: payment links, booking and reservation forms, contact buttons, Google Business hours, mobile checkout on congested cellular, QR/menu/order links, and follow-up flow. You get a ranked fix list in plain English, and the quick fixes get done on the spot.
Why before Wednesday?
Comic-Con floods downtown starting with preview night: on the order of 130,000 badge holders plus the bigger unbadged wave that comes just for the scene. Gaslamp and East Village businesses do a month of volume in five days, and a broken booking link fails at the exact moment nobody has time to notice why the phone went quiet. The check exists so you find out Monday, not Friday night.
Who is this for?
Anything in the convention blast radius: Gaslamp and East Village restaurants and bars, hotels and rentals, parking operators, pedicabs and rides, photographers, pop-up and vendor spaces, tattoo shops, coffee shops, boutiques. If the crowd can find you, book you, or pay you during the show, this is for you.
What do I get for $150?
One local operator, same day: every customer-facing flow tested like a real attendee would hit it (on a phone, on overloaded downtown cellular), a fix list ranked by what loses money first, five-minute fixes done immediately, and an honest read on anything bigger. If everything passes, you get that in writing before your biggest week.
How fast can it happen?
Same day you text, before preview night if you reach out by Tuesday. Most checks run 60-90 minutes and need nothing from you but two text replies.

After the show: keep the systems that survived

Convention week is the best diagnostic your business gets all year. If the checked systems held while the block was slammed, imagine them maintained year-round by the same operator, at operator-honest prices.
