Don't staff Tuesday
like it's a Treefort Saturday.
$7.25 is the floor in Idaho. Coordinex reads three months of your hourly Square sales and drafts next week so quiet-session weeks and festival weekends don't get the same schedule.
Boise, ID
Idaho minimum wage is $7.25/hr and tracks the federal floor. Idaho tipped employees may be paid a $3.35/hr cash wage if tips bring pay to $7.25/hr. Idaho Code 44-1502 preempts local wage ordinances above the state floor. FLSA weekly overtime applies after 40 hours.
Boise coffee demand splits across the downtown core, the Boise State campus, and the spring music-festival weekend. The same staffing posture for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 7:15 in Boise. The schedule for next Tuesday is wrong before it's published, because last Tuesday was legislative-session quiet and the Tuesday before that was Treefort load-in.
Most apps ask you to type in how busy you'll be. That's the part nobody does. Which is why the schedule is always wrong.
Three months of your Boise mornings already sit in your Square account. Hour by hour. Real numbers. The one thing nobody flips through on a Sunday rebuild.
You still run your shop. We're not pretending the app knows your team better than you do.
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 statehouse week and a Treefort weekend are not the same Tuesday, and your schedule shouldn't pretend they are. 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. Idaho base-pay-plus-tips assumptions stay visible.
Every Sunday, your demand curve sharpens
Last week's actual sales feed back in. A demand model fitted to your shop adjusts. Next week's draft starts from a smaller error than the last one.
For Boise teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Boise coffee shops run differently
- Downtown changes the morning, not the week. A statehouse session week pulls the 7-to-9 window forward. A river-season Friday pulls it back. The same staffing for both will miss one.
- Boise State runs on a different clock. Class days fill the 10-to-2 window. Game weekends rewrite Saturday entirely. The afternoon and the morning aren't the same shop.
- During Treefort week (late March), four Wednesdays turn into Saturdays. Bands need 8 a.m. coffee runs the rest of the year never asks for. You either staff it or you watch the line walk to the next block.
- Shift swaps stop being a group text. Mara posts she can't make Tuesday. Jess taps once and picks it up. You approve from your phone, or auto-approve trusted swaps.
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, but we're not going to 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 about Idaho tip credit?+
Idaho allows a $3.35 base-pay setting if tips bring pay to $7.25. Coordinex shows the assumption before you publish. We don't do tip-compliance flags yet — if you need that today, keep what you have.
07Will this work for one shop, or do I need two?+
One shop is the design. Two shops on different blocks get separate models — the morning curve and the campus curve don't share.
08What 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.
