Customers want to pay online and keep their points at both cafés. Lan learns the difference between the test kitchen and the real kitchen, opens the doors with one button, gets an address of her own, builds customer accounts (and sees why passwords are hashed), takes money safely with a payment gateway and webhooks, moves to a bigger order book, packs a lunchbox (Docker) for her own server, and decides what customer data not to collect.

26 new words, from Environment to Consent. Honest note: money and personal data carry legal and security weight. Use a well-known payment provider, and get expert help for anything serious.

   - Prompt for the AI: `Help me deploy a preview of this project to Vercel, and explain each step you take.`
3. Think of three domain names for your project, check whether they're free, then click the padlock on a site you use often.
