Marine layer 6 a.m. Studio crew-call 5.
We drafted both.
California floor is $16.9. Coordinex reads 13 weeks of your Square data and drafts next week in 12 minutes — A Berkeley finals-week Tuesday and a Carmel summer Saturday don't staff the same shift, and one citywide average can't tell them apart.
Coffee shop scheduling across California.
California, CA
California requires daily overtime at 1.5x after 8 hours in a workday and at 2x after 12 hours in a workday, in addition to the standard FLSA weekly trigger. California's state floor is $16.90/hr; many Bay Area and Westside cities set higher local floors and update them annually. There is no California tip credit — tips are paid in addition to the full minimum wage. Coordinex shows the local floor visible above your draft.
California coffee demand layers commute, hybrid-office, college, marine-layer, tourism, and shift-change curves. Bay Area fog rewrites the morning, an LA studio crew-call rewrites the afternoon, and a Tahoe-adjacent Saturday rewrites the weekend — same staffing for all of them misses one.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Berkeley block 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 California 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.
Fog-burn-off morning rewrites the rush hour, and a film-shoot Saturday rewrites it again — the same staffing for both will miss one.
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 foggy Bay Area Tuesday and a Hollywood-Sign Saturday don't share a curve, and the same staffing for both will miss one. 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.

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.
02Is Coordinex only scheduling?+
Scheduling's the core, but the same app runs earned wage access — a Berkeley barista pulls pay they've already earned before payday, no loan — plus geofenced clock-in that catches a buddy-punch, and one-tap shift swap. All on iPhone, all off your Square data.
03California is a big state — does the same approach work for every city?+
Yes, because the inputs are local: your block's Square data, not a citywide or statewide average. The Square history your block already proved is what writes the schedule, and Coordinex reads each shop on its own.
04Does California predictive-scheduling apply to coffee shops?+
Most California city predictive-scheduling ordinances target large fast-food / retail employers (San Francisco's Formula Retail Employee Rights Ordinance, etc.) and exempt small independent coffee shops by employee threshold. Coordinex still surfaces advance-notice norms above your draft so you can decide what's right for your team.
05What about overtime?+
Federal FLSA standard: 1.5x the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Coordinex flags an OT-bound week before publish, not after the fact.
06How long does setup take?+
About four minutes for the Square OAuth and another ten before the first draft is ready. Most owners ship next week's schedule the same Sunday they connect.
07Who's behind it?+
Independent owner-operators who grew up inside small businesses. Built for the same kind of shop, with no enterprise overlay. We charge a small monthly fee, no per-employee tax.
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.
Try Coordinex on Tuesday. Connect Square in 4 minutes. Schedule by 9.
