The described queuing system has multiple checkout counters, meaning there are multiple channels available for customers to use. However, all customers go through a single phase of service (paying for their food) without any intermediate waiting periods, indicating it is a single phase queuing system. Therefore, the correct option is multichannel, single phase (C).
