How a Santa Barbara order is worked
Address details from intake travel with the order to the assigned process server. For a downtown commercial address, that’s the operating hours and suite. For a hillside residence, that’s the gate or driveway approach. For a public-facing address in the Funk Zone, that’s the venue’s hours. Each visit is documented in the account.
