LPT: schedule your standup for the 15 min before lunch. It’s an almost automatic way to ensure that it finishes quickly. No one wants to be the one that’s making teammates hangry. It also means the meeting never interrupts a developer’s flow since they were going to break for lunch anyways.

This also means your team's day does't start until lunch.

Why do you think the daily stand-up should be the days starting point? That's not a requirement and not at all practical. If you have to skip a stand-up some day because of a dentist appointment or other meeting, do you just not do anything for the rest of the day?

Um, no. My day starts at 7:30 or 8:00 am. Standup is at 11am. I'm about 1/2 done with the day when standup happens. Other folks on my team start work at 10:00 am, so it's closer to the start of the day. I prefer having 1/2 day to get stuff done by the time standup rolls around.
