So how do I push to the CONSUPTION array? Using THIS is not working and ia have no clue on how to make the ORDER work.

const createMenu = (menu) => ({
        fetchMenu: () => menu,
        consumption: [1,2],
        order: (string) => {
          this.consumption.push(string);
        },
        pay: () => {
          let cont = 0
          const cardapio = { ...menu.food, ...menu.drink}
          for (let itens of this.consumption){
            cont += cardapio[itens];
          };
          return cont;
        },
      });

Change the order arrow function to a regular function, it's not a good idea to use it in an object.

The reason for that is because that In regular functions the this keyword represented the object that called the function. Unlike regular functions, arrow functions do not have their own this. The value of this inside an arrow function remains the same throughout the lifecycle of the function and is always bound to the value of this in the closest non-arrow parent function.

const createMenu = (menu) => ({
        fetchMenu: function(){ return menu},
        consumption: [1,2],
        order: function(string)  {
          this.consumption.push(string);
        },
        pay: function() {
          let cont = 0
          const cardapio = { ...menu.food, ...menu.drink}
          for (let itens of this.consumption){
            cont += cardapio[itens];
          };
          return cont;
        },
      });
      
      const menu = createMenu();
      console.log(menu.consumption);
      menu.order(3);
      console.log(menu.consumption);
