Professional setup

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

Use POS reports, cash handling policies, manager instructions, sidework checklists, tip procedures, and restaurant labor rules as the source of truth.

Use the timer for section-closeout pacing only, not for cash handling, tip, labor, table status, customer dispute, security, or employee release decisions.

Keep section notes, sidework checks, cash notes, open tab notes, handoff records, and POS closeout records in the approved POS, reservation, kitchen display, food safety, inventory, delivery, HR, or restaurant operations system.

Use an XTimer room when servers, floor managers, hosts, bartenders, cashiers, and closing leads need one shared server section closeout handoff countdown.
