How much time should you spend on CSS in the food ordering app machine coding round?
About 10 minutes at the end. Get the functionality working first (menu, search, filters, cart). Then add basic CSS (flexbox layout, grid for menu, colors, padding, border-radius). A clean layout scores higher than raw HTML.

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.
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.
