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

Use the timer for plating pacing only, not for food safety, allergens, temperature, service, staffing, or event decisions.
Keep event notes, plating notes, allergen notes, pass notes, service messages, and banquet handoffs in the approved restaurant, kitchen, cafe, catering, food safety, or operations system.
Use an XTimer room when chefs, catering staff, banquet captains, servers, runners, and event managers need one shared catering plating line countdown.
