as long as the customer uses a cutting board to prepare foods the counter top would be considered Kosher. If they prepare food directly on the counter top they could be in trouble.

The word Kosher has to do with Jewish dietary laws. These define what it OK to eat and how to keep a "compliant" kichen. If you follow the link below you will see that they have rules for sinks, ovens, pots, dishes - and yes, countertops too.
Given that you have to pour boiling water over your countertop to make it Kosher, my guess would be that granite is not Kosher, because granite is not resistent to extreme heat variations and may crack.

That doesn't really make sense. Kosher refers to Jewish Dietary laws (No pork, shellfish, mixing meat and milk and blessing by a rabbinical authority). You don't eat Granite.
So, yes, Granite countertops are "kosher".

"Kosher" or kashrut does not only concern food but also many other everyday things like not mixing wool clothing with Linen, not ploughing with a Bullock and an Donkey, you should
" Kasher "the countertop by pouring boiling water on it
