This application is developed by Adam Straub 2021 - current, and is intended as a demonstration of programming ability in Java for consideration by recruiters and future employers.
If you have any questions about the project, have an employment opportunity, or know of any; I would love to hear from you! Please use superduper.tacos@manyme.com for correspondence. Cheers!

I was thinking of what projects I would like to build for a portfolio when I was thinking to myself "Would be kind of cool if while I wasn't working, but a buddy was, and if they were hungry, they could just send me a taco order through the command line and I could bring them lunch". That is how this project began.
TonsOfTacos is designed as an ordering system (client interface) for a fictional taco shop. It is meant to have a means for a customer to build an order, get a receipt of the items chosen, their itemized costs, and a grand total.
Further implementations and development will be notated in the DEV-JOURNAL.md file as well as summarized at the end of this README.
- java 17.0.1
- intellij
Application should function out of the box from the command line or a properly configured IDE provided the system utilizes an appropriate JRE. The program does make use of lambdas and as such java 11 or greater is required.
Please note further documentation and notes may possibly be found in the code.

At this point what I would like to include in the future is:
- Refine current solutions to include dynamic loading of options and selection feedback to customer.
- Include functionality of transmitting an order, instructions for pick up or delivery, and eventually include payment options.
- Possible creation of a subscription service.
- Develop a back of house application for storing menu items in relational database with CRUD operations for maintaining menu.
- View open orders and mark them when complete with possible option to contact customer with notification order ready for pick up or arriving soon.
- Tracking sales and transactions to be used for accounting purposes.
- Inventory with provider and cost tracking.
