Moonstone mornings.
Main Street weekends.
5,600 people most weeks. A lot more on a sunny Saturday with a Hearst Castle tour at 11. Coordinex reads three months of your hourly Square sales and drafts next week.
Cambria, CA
California requires daily overtime for many nonexempt workers after 8 hours in a workday and double time after 12 hours, plus seventh-day premium pay. Meal periods generally apply after more than 5 hours, paid rest periods are based on 10 minutes per 4 hours or major fraction, and tips cannot be used as a credit against minimum wage. The statewide minimum wage is $16.90/hr effective January 1, 2026; local floors may be higher. Fast-food restaurant employers covered by the state fast-food rule have a $20.00/hr floor. Current local floor used here is $16.90/hr; next scheduled/reviewed change: state annual reset.
Cambria 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
5,604 residents most weeks. On a sunny Saturday with an 11 a.m. tour bus headed up Highway 1, the line is twice that.
Most apps ask you to type in how busy you'll be. Nobody types it in. So the Wednesday gets the Saturday's coverage, and the Saturday gets nothing extra.
Three months of your Cambria 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.
One of us grew up inside a small family business that wrote next week's schedule on Sunday with a pen and a guess. Coordinex is the version we wished existed back then, ported to coffee. A lodging week, a Moonstone-beach weekend, and a Main Street holiday do not staff the same way, no matter what last quarter's average says. 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.

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 Cambria teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Cambria coffee shops run differently
- Moonstone mornings move with the tide and the weather. Foggy weekends pull walk-ins down by a third. Sunny ones pull them forward by an hour. The same 7-to-9 staffing won't fit both.
- Main Street weekends double the line on a tour day. A Hearst Castle 11 a.m. brings a 4-to-6 second peak no Tuesday ever sees. You feel it before the sun crests Highway 1.
- During lodging weeks, midweek mornings stay quiet. Tuesday is for ordering beans. Coordinex won't pretend Tuesday is a Saturday.
- Shift swaps stop being a group text. Mara posts she can't make Wednesday. 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.
02What about midweek? It's dead.+
Then Coordinex tells you that. We don't pretend Tuesday is a weekend. Coordinex won't make your coffee taste better. It just stops you from staffing the Wednesday like the Saturday.
03My 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.
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.
06We'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.
07What about the $20 fast-food wage?+
It applies to chains with 60+ locations nationally. Most Cambria shops are exempt. Coordinex shows the assumption applied to your block — read it before publish.
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.
