I imagine "forecourt" will work for your other uses of "piste".
I can't see it being "lane". A service-station forecourt will usually have several lanes, and AFAIAC "lane manager" would tend to imply the person in charge of a single lane. Not that I think for a moment such a person exists.

Traditionally, the service station staff had to do a lot of paperwork towards the end of the shift which had to then be sent manually to the main office, where all the figures had to be manually entered into Oracle Financials. As a result of FMS, this activity has been automated. Now all the SENIOR FORECOURT ATTENDANT has to do is press one key on his keyboard and the entire shift closing process is completed automatically in less than 10 minutes. A report is also printed at the end. http://www.bapco.com.bh/media/pdf/bn07122007.pdf

I tried to find some examples of "front manager," since forecourt is not very US, but all I found related to the front of the house for a restaurant.
We might say "lead" or "shift lead."

Grading comment
Thanks once again for so many valuable references.
Notes to answerer
Asker: A "Wow" job indeed... thanks for all the references, as usual. There are other places where "piste" is used - is it indeed "lane" then? - "service piste" is then "lane service"? And "Présentation de la Piste/Affichage des produits" / Piste: Merchandising" - (I expected to get an answer that would be an indication for all these uses - should I open a new question?)
