Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Use local opening checklists, food safety rules, POS procedures, labor rules, and manager instructions as the source of truth.
Use the timer for opening coordination only, not for sanitation, cash handling, food safety, security, or staffing decisions.
Keep cash, incident, food safety, and employee records inside approved systems.
