Professional setup

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

Use banquet captains, kitchen leads, food safety rules, allergy notes, event orders, venue rules, and client approvals as the source of truth.

Use the timer for buffet pacing only, not for food safety, allergy, portioning, staffing, venue, legal, compliance, or emergency decisions.

Keep event orders, food labels, allergy notes, group plans, refill notes, service notes, and client updates inside approved food service, volunteer, venue, event, payment, or safety systems.

Use an XTimer room when banquet captains, servers, kitchen teams, hosts, and event managers need one shared buffet line rotation countdown.
