food counter
Deli display area
A food counter is a long, flat surface where food is displayed, served, or sold—typically in cafeterias, delis, or fast-food establishments.
Customers approach the counter to order or select items: She waited at the food counter for her sandwich.
The term also refers to the service area itself, including the staff and equipment behind it.
