how many minutes will my order take?
I'm trying to ask a restaurant cashier when my order will be ready but I find this question is long or it can be much simpler.

I'd say, "how long will it take?" or "how long will it be?"
However -- this is also the phrase you'd use if you are impatient and cannot wait. If you say it with an unhappy face, the cashier will probably feel like you're giving them a deadline, instead of simply asking for an estimate.
To soften it a little you could say, "when can I pick it up?" or "when do you think it will be ready?"
