Professional setup
Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Use kitchen display systems, table maps, allergy procedures, server notes, service standards, and manager instructions as the source of truth.
Use the timer for runner-handoff pacing only, not for allergen, service, guest, food safety, staffing, or compliance decisions.
Keep runner notes, allergy notes, table routes, hold notes, start records, and service logs in the approved POS, kitchen display, food safety, catering, inventory, staffing, or operations system.
Use an XTimer room when food runners, expo leads, servers, floor managers, chefs, and shift leads need one shared food runner handoff countdown.
