Professional setup

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

Use venue managers, planners, bar policies, alcohol laws, catering orders, vendor contracts, and safety procedures as the source of truth.

Use the timer for cocktail-hour pacing only, not for alcohol, food safety, guest safety, venue, legal, compliance, payment, or vendor decisions.

Keep timeline notes, bar notes, photo cues, seating notes, catering notes, venue notes, and transition updates inside approved event, venue, vendor, safety, guest, payment, or production systems.

Use an XTimer room when planners, bartenders, photographers, catering teams, venue staff, and DJs need one shared cocktail hour countdown countdown.
