Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use banquet event orders, menu specs, allergen procedures, food safety logs, run-of-show plans, and chef instructions as the source of truth.

Use the timer for banquet plating pacing only, not for allergen, food safety, service, menu, staffing, or compliance decisions.

Keep plating notes, check records, runner notes, reset notes, service notes, and banquet logs in the approved POS, kitchen display, food safety, catering, inventory, staffing, or operations system.

Use an XTimer room when banquet chefs, catering teams, servers, food runners, event captains, and kitchen managers need one shared banquet plating window countdown.
