ordering up

Placing a request

Ordering up is requesting something to be prepared or delivered, especially food from a kitchen or room service: She ordered up breakfast from the hotel.

The phrase often implies summoning something at will, sometimes with a hint of ease or authority: He ordered up another round of drinks.

In military contexts, ordering up means calling for reinforcements or supplies.
