The answer
CSS grid with auto-fill: grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(200px, 1fr)). This creates a responsive grid that adjusts the number of columns based on available width. No media queries needed for the menu itself.

Header (logo + cart count), controls (search + filters), main area split into menu grid (left) and cart sidebar (right). Use flexbox for the main layout and CSS grid for menu items. Add responsive design (stack vertically on mobile).
Use a media query: @media (max-width: 768px) { .main { flex-direction: column; } .cart-sidebar { width: 100%; } }. This stacks the menu and cart vertically on mobile. Use grid with auto-fill for the menu items.
Keep a count of items in the cart: Object.values(cart).reduce((sum, qty) => sum + qty, 0). Update a span in the header on every cart change. This gives quick visual feedback.
