Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
So far you have been using type and id selectors to style elements. However, it is more common to use a different selector to style your elements.

A class selector is defined by a name with a dot directly in front of it, like this:

.class-name {
  styles
}

Change the existing #menu selector into a class selector by replacing #menu with a class named .menu

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Cafe Menu</title>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="menu">
      <main>
        <h1>CAMPER CAFE</h1>
        <p>Est. 2020</p>
        <section>
          <h2>Coffee</h2>
        </section>
      </main>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

In CSS, you have id selector which uses # before your id,
and class selector which uses . before your class.

Here i select the element with the id avatar:

#avatar {

}

Here i select the elements with the class avatar:

.avatar {

}

Now you can solve this challenge:

#menu {
  width: 80%;
  background-color: burlywood;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

Change the existing #menu selector into a class selector by replacing #menu with a class named .menu
