call time

Request a break

Call time is the scheduled moment when someone must arrive or be ready.

In film and theater, it's when cast and crew report to set: My call time is 5 AM tomorrow.

In sports, to call time is to request a timeout, stopping play temporarily.

A bartender who calls time announces last orders before closing.
