Ok me and a buddy had this great idea (or at least so we think) of making a floating kitchen out of an old houseboat. We would float around busy areas and sell burger, hotdogs, and sandwiches, sides to be chips and soda (maybe beer down the road if it is possible.) My question is would anyone actually buy food off of a boat like this? It would have a pick up window or a drive threw type setup and a delivery system with a smaller boat. I think it would be great with spring break like places. Any ideas or critiques welcome. Please let me know what you think!

A friend of mine owns a Pontoon food boat. He services the local boating hang out on
weekends/holidays, drops anchors, and opens for business.

Takes orders over cell #, and uses a small skiff(12ft) to deliver product around the
anchorage. You'll need at least two people to run it. It's not wise to encourage
potentially drunk customers maneuver their multi-ton vehicle near/next to his
establishment.

He uses honda EU2000i genny(quiet/fuel efficient) to run the frig, freezer and other
stuff.
