Professional setup

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

Use restaurant SOPs, side-work lists, food safety rules, labor policies, manager instructions, and shift notes as the source of truth.

Use the timer for side-work pacing only, not for food safety, labor, staffing, cleaning, tip, or operations decisions.

Keep side-work notes, station notes, restock notes, release notes, shift messages, and manager handoffs in the approved restaurant, kitchen, cafe, catering, food safety, or operations system.

Use an XTimer room when servers, shift leads, managers, bussers, hosts, and closing teams need one shared restaurant side work countdown.
