You could ask the wait staff to please put the payment on your tab, or you can inform them that you are paying with a credit card and that they can hold your order until the transaction is complete. Additionally, if there is an ordering kiosk available, you can order and pay for your meal in advance.

Some restaurants allow for split payments, so you can offer to pay a portion of the bill up front and then let the server split the rest between cash and card. Alternatively, some restaurants may allow you to "prepay" your order which can make it appear as if you already paid, but without having physically handed over any money. You could also ask for an estimate of the total bill before ordering so that when your order is ready you say that you will pay by card and tell them to adjust the payment accordingly. This way it will appear as if payment has been made but without actually having physically handed over any money.
