Designed for flexibility across fryers, ovens, griddles, and holding cabinets, this durable, stainless-steel timer delivers consistent food quality, improved staff productivity, and reduced food waste.

Available in 4-, 8-, or 12-button models, the ZAP Timer allows operators to manage multiple menu items simultaneously —counting up or down from 1 second to 99 hours.

Each button can be programmed for a specific product or task, while adjustable pre-alarms and multiple volume levels help crews stay on track during rush periods.

With a large LED display, intuitive programming, and reliable solid-state construction, the ZAP Timer simplifies operations in any busy kitchen.

Whether you’re managing fry times, holding cycles, or daily task reminders, this timer ensures consistent results and efficiency.
