Quick is the most frequent word for talking about sth that takes a short amount of time. Fast can be used as well as quick with words relating to change ( recovery, rate, rise) and services ( delivery, response, repair) but not with words relating to meals ( breakfast, snack, lunch) and acts performed by people such as hug, kiss, wash and bath.
