Order

Is it correct to say:


"We moved to the counter, and placed our orders."


And does this mean the same as telling (with one's mouth) what they would like to have?




2. Is there any verb we could use with the noun 'order' (in the sense of this context)?


For instance, is it correct to say:


"After we told our orders, we started talking."


Note: By saying 'made our orders', I mean telling what we would like to eat and drink.
