pickup area
Designated retrieval spot
A pickup area is a designated spot where people collect something or someone.
At airports and transit stations, it's where arriving passengers meet their rides: I'll wait for you in the pickup area.
Restaurants and stores have pickup areas for orders placed in advance.
The term also applies to locations where rideshare drivers collect passengers or where parents retrieve children from school.
