Enough to support himself and a few employees. They do grilled cheese sandwiches and have a small menu with some cool combinations. Sandwiches, chips and soda. The key is to keep it simple and stick to it. I had people in my shop every day that ate the same thing. Those are the people you want to keep happy.

Our city has been quite food truck friendly, so that has to play into it as well. I can hit a Food Truck Rodeo of some sort a few nights a week. It could be a fad thing, but if it is he doesn't have much to lose...considering his initial investment.
