"He watched the counterman lay out some patties on the grill in preparation for another possible influx, then sit on a chair and begin to read a newspaper."
This is from a scene in the novel and it is clear that counterman is cooking. I looked at the meanings of "lay out" in the dictionaries but it is still difficult to understand it. Would you please explain the use of "lay out" here?

I can't find a workable link so I don't share one.
Thank you.
