Do you know what that little window is called in restaurants where the waitress passes the cook orders and the cook passes the waitress food?

My guess is something along the lines of "the little window the cook passes the food through."

Window - A shelf, usually heated and connected to the kitchen, upon which the food is placed after preparation and awaiting delivery to the table.

In my fifteen years of experience in the industry at various levels, it was always called the "pass through" in every restaurant I worked in.

service window is exactly the descriptive word I want. If a waitress is standing in the kitchen, peering at a customer through the service window, people will know exactly what I'm talking about. Wonderful as usual, oh groovy Inarticulate One. Posts: 1304 | Registered: May 2007

They are also called "Pick-up Windows". But I liked "Service Window" or "Take-out window" better. I suppose a reader would understand either of them.

I've heard "service window" before, if it matters. More importantly, Google has 31000+ entries for "service window" restaurant and many fewer for "pass-through window" restaurant and its variants.
