Hi, I'm trying to create my first program however, I ran into a deadend. I want to send the value from the switch statement all the way to main. I've tried using return statements, but I don't think that's the right way to do it.
I hope that made sense.

void drink();

int burger = 15.00;
int wings = 7.00;
int steak = 16.50;
int stew = 11.00;
int sub = 14.00;
cout << endl;
cout << "Here's the menu please decide what you'd like.\n";
cout << "1. Classic Joe Burger: 15.00\n";
cout << "2. Buffalo Wings: 7.00\n";

You routines are listed as void meaning they do not return and datatypes that you can use.
Change the void to whatever datatype you want to return. Since Beer and Stew are both ints change their headings to
int menu() & int drink()
Edit - Why are you declaring the drink(); routine inside the menu routine on line 9? Instead declare int menu(); andint drink; at the very top of your file and then move their implementation down below your main.
