The dry-erase calendar wins again.
Not next Bronx Saturday it doesn't.
New York floor is $17.00. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a stadium-Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Bronx, NY.
Bronx, NY
New York State Department of Labor 2026 tables list a $17.00/hr general minimum wage for New York City. Hospitality food-service tipped workers may use a $11.35 cash wage plus a tip credit up to $5.65 when tips make up the difference; tipped service employees use $14.15 cash wage plus $2.85 tip credit. For tipped workers, overtime is time-and-one-half the minimum wage rate, less the applicable tip credit. NYC Fair Workweek rules cover fast food, retail, and utility safety workers; this page must not imply every independent coffee shop is covered.
Bronx coffee demand splits across morning commute rushes, afternoon walk-in traffic, and weekend brunch pulls. The same staffing for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The morning crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Other tools ask you to forecast Tuesday's rush by typing numbers into a form. The form sits empty. The schedule ships anyway, and the line at 7:30 proves it wrong.
Three months of your Bronx 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.
Both of us did time behind a register before we wrote a line of code. The Sunday rebuild is the moment Coordinex was built for. Pretend Fordham University on a Tuesday is The Hub on a Saturday and you'll overstaff one of them, and a flat schedule picks the wrong one every time. 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. New York wage assumptions stay 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. Next week's draft starts from a smaller error than the last.
For Bronx teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Bronx coffee shops run differently
- Yankee Stadium game days change one part of the curve. They should not be averaged into every Bronx shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Hospital shift-change add another staffing layer. They can pull a different daypart than Yankee Stadium or Fordham University. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During university weeks, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
- 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. 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.
Try Coordinex on Tuesday. Connect Square in 4 minutes. Schedule by 9.
