Pushing things forward
Expediting is speeding up a process or helping something move faster through a system.
Someone expediting an order pushes it through channels more quickly than normal: We're expediting your shipment.
In restaurants and kitchens, an expediter coordinates orders between cooks and servers, ensuring dishes come out on time and together.
