What is a transaction counter on a reception desk?

A transaction counter is the raised front section of a reception desk — typically 42" high — where visitors stand to sign forms, receive keys or badges, or conduct other face-to-face business with the receptionist. It serves as both a functional workspace for visitor interaction and a visual/physical barrier that separates the public area from the staff workspace.
