serving counter
Cafeteria distribution surface
A serving counter is a long, flat surface where food or drinks are handed to customers.
It separates servers from the people they're serving, whether in a cafeteria, deli, or fast-food restaurant: She waited at the serving counter for her order.
The term emphasizes the counter's function rather than where you might sit or eat.
