It's 6:30 in Denver.
Your roster's still asleep.
Run the whole crew from one app — scheduling, GPS clock-in, shift tasks, early pay, team chat, and labor reports. At $19.29 — $4.87 above Colorado's floor — it also reads three months of your hourly Square sales so you don't pay for an hour you didn't need.
Denver, CO
Denver's 2026 minimum wage is $19.29/hr — set by city ordinance, $4.87 above Colorado's $14.42 state floor. CO allows a tip credit of up to $3.02; effective tipped cash wage in Denver is $16.27. CO weekly overtime applies after 40 hours; daily overtime applies after 12 in any shift.
Denver coffee demand splits across LoDo office mornings, RiNo afternoon arts-and-tech traffic, and Cherry Creek weekend wealthy-suburb pulls. The same staffing posture for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The roster you posted Sunday is already wrong. LoDo's full and the RiNo block is dead till 10.
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 Denver 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.
Scheduling is just the start of it. Your team clocks in with GPS proving they're at the shop, works the open and close off a shared checklist, and keeps the shift handoff in a team chat instead of a group text. Onboarding paperwork and certifications live right next to the roster, and anyone who needs cash early can draw on pay they've already worked for. The Pulse view and reports break down hours, overtime, and attendance as the week runs — so you're steering labor cost in real time, not reading about it on Sunday.
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 LoDo commute Tuesday and a Cherry Creek Saturday do not staff the same shift, and a $19.29 city floor punishes the wrong call. 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. Denver's $19.29 wage assumption stays visible before publish.
Run the floor and read the labor
GPS clock-in, shared checklists, team chat, and early pay run the shift; the Pulse view and reports track hours and overtime as they happen. Last week's sales feed back in, so each new draft starts from a smaller error than the last.
For Denver teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Denver coffee shops run differently
- LoDo runs on the commute clock. Office mornings hit at 7:30; the late afternoon is dead. Game-day Saturdays at Coors Field rewrite the whole window. Pretend Tuesday is Saturday and you'll overstaff one.
- RiNo fills the afternoon, not the morning. Tech and arts traffic walks in at 10:30, not 7. The morning is light; the 2-to-5 window is the question.
- Cherry Creek pulls a different weekend crowd. Brunch-and-shop Saturdays move slower; tickets are bigger; staffing for that window means fewer baristas, not more.
- An overstaffed hour at $19.29 is real money. Three of those a week is $232. Six months is over $6,000. The math is the pitch.
Frequently asked
01Is Coordinex more than a scheduler?+
Much more. It runs GPS clock-in, opening and closing tasks, team messaging, early wage access, document storage, and a Pulse view with labor reports. Scheduling is just the front door; the Square sales read is what makes that schedule accurate.
02What 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.
03Will I see where my labor hours actually go?+
Yes. The Pulse view and reports break down hours, overtime, and attendance as the week runs, so you're managing labor cost in real time instead of after payroll closes.
04Denver's wage is higher than the rest of Colorado. Does that matter?+
It matters because an overstaffed hour costs $4.87 more here than at a suburban-county shop. Coordinex shows the assumption applied to your block before you publish, so the wrong call doesn't surprise you on payroll day.
05My 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.
06Honest 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.
07How 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.
08We'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.
09Will this work for one shop, or do I need two?+
One shop is the design. Two shops on different blocks get separate models — the LoDo curve and the suburb curve don't share.
10What 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.
