plato is really not translated as order. Plate and dish are all right.
You may say simply as in English: one nº 41, un nº 41 and that's it there is no "order".
The "order" in a restaurant or bar is called "comanda" only when it goes into the kitchen and the client does not use it often. You can say something like: Qué pasa con mi comanda, when it's been long and you're still waiting but you don't say: Estoy listo para la comanda as I am ready to order, you simple say: Ya estoy listo para pedir or ya sé lo que quiero.
As I said, the client does not usually use that word because normally refers to what he or she (the client) orders, but "the order" in a restaurant is called comanda.
It might be used only in Spain, I can't tell from somewhere else, but I doubt it as I have seen references in Latin America too, so I believe it's quite extended
