Precise Cooking Timing with Action Alarms for High Volume Kitchens
The Meridian Series Timers by Kitchen Brains® deliver precise cook and hold timing with programmable action alarms, giving restaurant operators exceptional control, consistency, and flexibility across every station in the kitchen.
Available in 10-product, single-display (MET-110) and 18-product, dual-display (MET-118) configurations and offered in Standard or PLUS versions, Meridian Timers are freestanding solutions designed to manage cook and hold times for every menu item from a centralized interface.
The Standard Meridian Timer provides one programmable action alarm per product key with single-key hold time linking, making it ideal for straightforward menu execution. The Meridian Timer PLUS expands functionality with up to three action alarms per product button and multi-key hold time linking, supporting more complex cooking processes and higher-volume operations.
Meridian Timers also offer optional compatibility with KorrectProduction® software, enabling HACCP reporting, data tracking, and real-time online kitchen management—an ideal upgrade for operations focused on food safety compliance, automation, and performance visibility.
Designed for modern quick-service and full-service restaurants, the Meridian Series features intuitive, mobile phone-style programming that simplifies setup and reduces training time. Programmable action alarms, active hold time tracking, and secure manager/employee access codes help teams stay focused on food quality instead of managing multiple timers.
Whether managing multiple fryers or coordinating high-volume prep lines, Meridian Series Timers deliver accuracy, reliability, and real-time alerts that keep kitchens running efficiently, consistently, and safely.
