Independent Cleveland coffee shop interior with Midwest hardwood morning light, espresso machine in the foreground
Built for Cleveland coffee shops

Sunday's roster lives in your head.
We drafted it Friday.

Ohio floor is $11.00. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Cleveland Clinic shift-change Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.

Labor law

Ohio's 2026 minimum wage poster lists $11.00/hr for non-tipped employees at employers with at least $405,000 in gross receipts, while employers below that threshold and employees under 16 may use the $7.25 federal floor. Tipped employees may be paid $5.50 cash wages plus tips if the employer can show cash wages plus tips reach the applicable minimum wage. Ohio overtime is one and one-half times the employee's wage rate after 40 hours in one workweek, except for employers grossing less than $150,000 per year. No statewide fair-workweek or predictive-scheduling rule is modeled here.

Seasonality

Cleveland 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 Downtown Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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 regular University Circle weekday and a game days weekend don't share a curve, and the citywide average is what makes that invisible until publish. 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.

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.

How Cleveland coffee shops run differently

  • Cleveland Clinic shift-change change one part of the curve. Should not be averaged into every Cleveland shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
  • Lakefront event days add another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Downtown Cleveland or Cleveland Clinic. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
  • During University Circle class weeks, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
  • No more Sunday-night triage of who's covering Wednesday. Mara hands the shift back; Jess picks it up; if she's on your trusted list, the swap clears itself.

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.
