so new york is filled with food trucks. good food, right
outside your office for cheaper and quicker fare than a
restaurant.
now, new york also has double decker open top deck
buses for tourists to tour the city. there are also even
double decker closed top busses that travel to
philadelphia
and dc (the 'mega' bus, but that is a
different story)
how about a food truck bus that sells you food, and
affords
you the option to also get on the bus top and eat. at
scheduled periodic times, the bus tours to a different
location(s) and takes you a long for the ride. there could
even be 'early' and 'late' lunch stopps with an extended
tourist type ride in the middle. there's so many
possibilities.
in addition the bus can do this in the evenings to cater
to
the club going crowd to bring them, like a party bus,
from
club to club, but with food.
due to the fact that the second level of the bus is
supposed
to be good for partying, it will have a covertible closed
upper deck, allowing for open top like the red double
deckers during good wether , and a closed top for bad
wether---liek the double decker 'mega' bus that goes to
philadelphia.
finally, should the bus obtain a liquor license, all drinking
would happen with the double deck top closed to as to
prevent any mishaps such as a drunk passenger falling
off
the top open deck.
finally , the bus will have excellent music.
i'm calling this the DDD bus. and if i get enough votes ,
i'm
going to put this on kickstarter and try raising at least
200K to buy the bus and kit it out with a kitchen on the
bottom for food truckery, and a dining section on the top
deck. no joke.

(?) Might have been done but still great idea

This is a pretty cool idea. |
|
|
I know these topless tour busses they have in San
Francisco park at scenic locations to let the tourists
take pictures. This would be where you'd serve lunch,
dinner, brunch, breakfast etc. |
|
|
Actually, it's a great idea. I'd totally do this. I think
this has an excellent chance of getting funding. |
|
|
I did find a bus turned into a restaurant, see link, but
that doesn't mean you can't do it too. On the
contrary, proven idea no? |
|
|
Here's the secret, no pre-prepaired foods that would
be all messed up by being driven around. Just a
fridge/freezer with the ingredients for the the meal.
Park, the kitchen starts prepping the meals while the
diners mill about in the scenic location sipping wine
and taking pictures, taking in the splendor then after
about an hour or so, dinner's served! |

AWESOME idea! Got at least 1 customer and his
family already. |

[-] for spoiling the free entertainment. |

|

Define "excellent music". |
|
|
A string quartet playing baroque concerti
gains a croissant; classic jazz might get a
neutral; populist crap gets a huge stinky
fishbone. |
|
|
Maybe 20 people at a time, four 3 hour jaunts, $100
each at least. Gross 8 grand a day. There's promise
there. |
|
|
Get the foodie crowd into this. |
|
|
Call it "Gourmet Coach Excursions" (Don't call it a
bus.) |
|
|
Cool. You could get the whole eco-friendly crowd by heating everything on the manifold. |
|
|
what if we served hot dogs and burgers and called it
the tourdog and burger bus. |
|
|
//Get the foodie crowd into this.// |
|
|
Gourmet food only. Park in some scenic location under the stars and sip wine while they make something decidedly un-bus-bill-of-fair-like. |
|
|
Not sure how many hours qualify as enjoyable on a bus, but if it's more than 3, there may be a few good restaurants in New York. + for making a bus smell delicious |

Pretty, cool and tasty too. |
