It's 6:30 in Aurora.
The Anschutz medical campus is already in line.
$15.16 is the floor in Colorado. Coordinex carries the whole shift — drafting the schedule, clocking the team in by phone, routing the open-and-close tasks, and letting baristas tap pay they've already earned. Three months of your hourly Square sales keep a Stanley Marketplace Saturday and a regular Southlands Tuesday from getting the same staffing.
Coffee shop scheduling for Aurora, CO.
Aurora, CO
Colorado's 2026 minimum wage is $15.16/hr, with a $12.14/hr tipped cash wage when tips bring the worker to the full floor. CO weekly overtime applies after 40 hours; daily overtime applies after 12 hours in any shift. Aurora has no city-level minimum above the state floor.
Aurora coffee demand splits across Anschutz medical-campus shift mornings, Stanley Marketplace weekend pulls, and airport-corridor travel-day traffic. Travel days lift highway-adjacent cafes without changing neighborhood shops.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Stanley Marketplace crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Most apps ask you to type in how busy you'll be. Nobody types it in. So the schedule is wrong before it ships.
Three months of your Aurora mornings already sit in your Square account. Real numbers. Hour by hour. The thing nobody flips through during a Sunday rebuild.
You still run the shop. We're not pretending the app knows your team better than you do.
A draft on its own doesn't get the doors open. So Coordinex carries the rest of the day too: your crew clocks in from their phones at the counter, the prep list and the equipment-cleaning log sit where everyone can check them off, a covered shift gets sorted in a thread instead of a phone tree, and a barista between paychecks can pull what they've already earned without a payday lender. Pulse keeps you honest on the numbers — labor against sales, who's nearing overtime, attendance drift — so Monday is a read, not a reconstruction.
We came up inside the kind of shop you're trying to run — Sunday rebuilds, group-text triage, a pen and a guess. Coordinex is what we wished existed back then. A Southlands weekday and an Anschutz Saturday don't staff the same shift, and one citywide average can't tell them apart. We don't claim to run your shop. We just stop you from guessing the busy hours — using the Square history your block already proved.

Next week, drafted in 12 minutes
Reads three months of your hourly Square sales and drafts next week from that. You spend 12 minutes editing instead of 90 building from scratch. Colorado's $15.16 wage assumption stays visible before publish.
Every Sunday, your demand curve sharpens
Last week's actual sales feed back in. A demand model fitted to your shop adjusts, and next week's draft starts from a smaller error than the last. The reports underneath it — hours worked, labor share, who's trending toward a long week — are already built, no exporting required.
For the people who actually pour the coffee.
How Aurora coffee shops run differently
- Anschutz medical campus runs a different morning. Medical-staff shifts start and end on a 7-and-7 rhythm, not 9-to-5. Pretend it's a regular commute neighborhood and you'll overstaff every morning.
- Stanley Marketplace pulls the weekend. Brunch crowds Saturday and Sunday, almost nothing Tuesday and Wednesday. A flat schedule overstaffs the weekdays every week.
- Airport-corridor cafes run on travel days. DIA-adjacent shops lift on Friday evenings and Sunday returns. Neighborhood cafes across town stay flat.
- The $12.14 tipped cash wage means a slow Tuesday afternoon can leave a barista below the $15.16 floor — Coordinex shows the assumption before publish so the wrong call doesn't surprise you on payroll day.
Frequently asked
01What does Coordinex actually read from Square?+
Hourly sales, ticket counts, and item sales for the last three months. Read-only. We don't write back, we don't change menus, we don't touch payments.
02My baristas keep asking for advances. Does Coordinex help?+
Earned wage access is built in. They see what they've already earned mid-pay-period and can pull it without going to a payday lender. We don't take a cut from them. You don't get the awkward Monday text.
03We've got someone clocking in for a friend. Can the app catch it?+
Yes. Geofenced clock-in checks the phone is actually at the shop. Buddy-punch detection flags the patterns where one phone clocks in two people. We don't want you to be the cop. We want the clock to be honest.
04Honest question — does it work on Android?+
Not yet. Coordinex is iPhone-only right now. We'd rather ship one platform that's actually good than two that are half-finished. Android is on the list. We won't put a date on it until it's real.
05How much?+
Free up to 5 teammates — no card. $9.99/mo Starter has a 7-day Apple trial. Full pricing at coordinex.app/pricing. If Coordinex isn't useful in week one, delete it.
06What happens to my data if I cancel?+
You own it on the way out. Export every schedule, timesheet, and wage record before you delete the app — nothing is held hostage, and we don't lock your history behind a final invoice. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
