We embroider a great many caps with front and side designs. It's less efficient
to sew them all separately, because you're hooping the same cap over and over.
Take your time hooping it well the first time and you can sew out 3 designs in
one hooping = less time. With a little practice, good digitizing and correct
backing the 270 hoop is a great option for this. I always add a center stitch
to the beginning of every cap design and then a cut or a stop for any minor
adjustment. Once that first stitch hits my center seam I know I'll get an
excellent sewout.

you know how to digitize, you can create the design(s) in Design Shop to sew
the front and sides all at the same time, but it is very difficult to get
them to line up on the sides when the cap rotates. This is because of trying
to hoop the cap perfectly so that when it rotates to do the side design it
will be crooked. The cap driver is capable of sewing a really wide design of
270 degrees from one side to the other, but if doing a frontal design and
then one on the side(s), I have found it better to do it in separate steps.
When doing a side design, such as lettering, you can make life a lot easier
by using the "Laser alignment" tools in AOS. It works very well and saves a
lot of time over trying to hoop the cap perfectly everytime. Can it be done
all in one step, yes, but it really depends on what needs to be done, what
the design(s) is/are and how much time you want to spend fiddling around in
trying to get everything to sew straight on the cap.
My advice is to do the sides in separate steps, meaning loading individual
designs for the front and sides, but play with trying to do something that
has both the frontal and side designs digitized to sew that way, but you will
have to know something about digitizing to do it this way also.
To do a side design or lettering, load the design and rotate the capdriver
around to the side with the hoop and arrow keys and then orient the design to
sew where you want it to by using the hoop and arrow keys for final
adjustment. Again, research the "Laser alignment" option to be able to line
up the design/lettering so it will sew parallel to the edge of the cap.
