Food Cart Fever

So it's official folks. I have jumped into the food cart scene with both feet. While creating a business plan for one of my management classes, I realized the reality of the concept. I would like to purchase the cart within a week or two and be open as a business by the first week of September. Let me lay it out for you, give me some feed back. I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

So the idea is a build your own mac n cheese. The customer would choose:

Sample Menu:

Noodle:   Classic (elbow) - or - Noodle of the Day (spiral, shell, etc.)
Sauce:     Cheddar - or - Parmesan - or - Pesto
Topping:
         Meats:   Sausage - Burger - Hot Dog - Chicken - Ham - Bacon
         Veg:      Spinach - Jalepeno - Peas - Corn - Broccoli - Roasted Red Peppers - Caramelized Onions



The customer would pick one noodle, one sauce, and up to 3 toppings for a base price of (and im hoping to get close to this) $4 for a small and $6 for a large. Each additional topping would range from $.50 for veg to $1 for meats. I would also offer sodas and water.

I'm open to all suggestions. I'm really excited about this and I don't want the excitement to blur the reality that this might not be a profitable business. The idea is to park it by Grant High School Monday - Friday from about 10am to 1pm ish. I have a decent knowledge of the kids and even a slight following. A large amount of the students come to Starbucks for lunch, I've been taken surveys.

I would park it down by 48th and Hawthorne Wednesday - Saturday about 5pm - 1am ish. That location is near all the hipster bars.

Names so far:
    Mad Mac
    Mighty Mac
    Mac Attack
    Mac Daddies
    Stack-a-Mac
    Mac-Man
