There's an OTR episode of Suspense called, Short Order that aired around 1945. We know the term "fast food" didn't exist then, but "short order" cook did. Is this in reference to "quick" food like at drugstore lunch counters or automats? You order a sandwich and it's ready in minutes, if not sooner. Would "short order" be the Golden Era term for today's and post-war boom of "fast food" joints?
