Sunday at 10pm, rebuilding next week.
We started Friday morning.
Utah floor is $7.25. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Southern Utah University Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Cedar City, UT.
Cedar City, UT
Utah follows the federal FLSA standard: $7.25/hr minimum wage, $2.13/hr tipped cash wage when tips make up the difference, and 1.5x overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. Utah state law preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so city wage-floor pressure does not apply.
Cedar City 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 7:45 a.m., class day. The Southern Utah University crowd is at the bar. By 9 the rush 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 Cedar City 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 Historic Downtown weekday and a Festival City district 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. Utah 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 the people who actually pour the coffee.
How Cedar City coffee shops run differently
- SUU is the weekly rhythm. Southern Utah University brings 15,000+ students into the local demand curve. Campus-adjacent shops need more than a generic weekday/weekend template.
- Break weeks change the floor. Spring break, winter break, and the May-to-August gap can turn a normal weekday into a slow one.
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- The wall calendar in the kitchen — the one with three names crossed out — finally retires. Mara posts Tuesday, Jess covers it, you sign off from the bar.
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.
