Just to throw it out there, 86 is also used in the film industry (at least in LA) meaning to cancel or get rid of something. It's very widely used across the industry. I don't know of any other slang that is shared between restaurants and film though.
Never heard of this in the UK, just strike/kill. Maybe it's a US thing.
