Good day,

'Cut to the chase' is an informal expression that is used when someone is not getting to the point. This expressions essentially means 'come to the point' or 'get to the point'. An example in a sentence would be: "Cut to the chase and stop wasting time. What do you you want us to do?"

I hope this explanation and example helps.
