Danish translation:på minuttet eller hurtigmadsbestilling eller straksbestilling
Explanation:
It's tricky and I think it will be hard to get it less clumsy unless you rewrite the sentence as a whole.

Explanation:
Jeg kan bedre forklare ordene end give dig en direkte oversættelse. Lad os se om andre så kan hjælpe til.
'Short order' er typisk en bestilling på mad, som kommer foran andre bestillinger f.eks. en gæst beslutter sig for at også bestille en salat efter at den oprindelige bestilling allerede er afleveret i køkkenet.
'Cooked to order' bliver anvendt af fastfood restaurants for at vise at maden først bliver tilberedt efter at ordren er afgivet dvs maden/burgerne har ikke ligget 20-30 minutter på en varmerist. Fastfood restauranterne Hardee's og Wendy's anvender typisk 'cooked to order' i reklametekster (McDonalds og Burger King gør ikke).
Bemærk at jeg bor i en sydstat. Der kan være stor forskel på betydningen alt efter hvor i USA det bliver brugt.

neutral  Suzanne Blangsted (X): "or" ?? I think it would have been better if you used the word 'eller', to stay within the Danish language

  -> 'or' blev anvendt i et velment forsøg på at undgå forvirring. Jeg hjalp med at oversætte 2 ud af 3 ordpar og ville vise at det ikke var 2 forskellige ordmuligheder for samme ordpar.
