Float-thru Service

I've recently moved to Seattle, and am impressed by how well the water is used. Much commuting is done by ferry and sail boats and motor boats are everywhere. I've also learned that some waterfront restaurants feature buoys to tie your boat to - kind of like a boat parking lot for the weekend sailer. Of course the problem is the effort involved in tying up, hopping on a raft or small boat to get to shore, securing this, and then reversing the process once dining is concluded. With living in the world we do, who has time for such inconveniences?

I propose a float-thru window for taking food to go. The window itself will look similar to a drive-thru window, only it will be attached to a small floating room. This room is attached to a sheltered gangway so that it can raise and lower with the tides. When a boater is in the area and is a bit hungry they can just radio in their order, than when the meal is prepared a server walks down the gangplank, and exchanges money for food with the sailor.

The only real issue I can see with this service is dealing with pirates. Perhaps only credit cards will be accepted, therefore avoiding the dilemma of having too many gold doubloons on hand.
