- jacurtis 8y agoYeah, it's short for "the pass thru". Older restaurants and diners used to cut a hole in the wall between the kitchen and dining area to pass food through. So yes it became known as "the pass". This is where your food sits and collects before it comes out to your table. It's also where waitstaff pass tickets through to the kitchen. Lots of passing going on back and forth. Hence "the pass".
