The base commute hits before sunrise.
The Saturday pool crowd sleeps in.
Kansas's floor is $7.25. Coordinex reads three months of your hourly Square sales and drafts next week, so a weekday McConnell morning and a Rock River Rapids Saturday stop sharing one schedule.
Derby, KS
Kansas's minimum wage is $7.25/hr for employees not covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, and covered coffee-shop employers generally still use the federal $7.25/hr floor. The U.S. Department of Labor tipped-wage table lists Kansas at a $2.13/hr minimum cash wage with a $5.12 max tip credit when tips make up the difference to the full minimum wage. Kansas state overtime law applies after 46 hours for non-FLSA employers, while the federal FLSA generally requires 1.5x after 40 hours for covered employers. No statewide fair-workweek or predictive-scheduling rule is modeled here.
Derby coffee demand splits across Downtown commute mornings, McConnell AFB corridor base traffic, and Derby Marketplace retail afternoons. Rock River Rapids weekends and summer family routines run hot; the deep-winter weeks run cold.
What changes Tuesday
It's 5:45 a.m. in Downtown Derby. The McConnell crowd is already through the drive-thru on their way to base — your regulars, in and out before the dining room fills. Your opener is the only one on staff who knows that wave is coming.
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 Derby 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. You already know which barista you trust to close the bar on a Saturday and which one you'd never put on it alone.
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 weekday base-commute morning and a Saturday pool-crowd rush do not 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.

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 one.

How Derby coffee shops run differently
- The McConnell commute lands before anyone else is awake. Base traffic hits early and hard down the K-15 corridor, then drops off a cliff once everyone's clocked in. Open thin for that wave and you lose the morning; open heavy and you're paying for a dead 9 o'clock. Your Square history shows exactly where the wave breaks.
- Derby Marketplace runs on retail time, not commuter time. The shopping-center crowd builds through midday and into the afternoon — a whole different curve from the Downtown morning. Pull both off one schedule and somebody's overstaffed while the other side's slammed.
- Rock River Rapids turns summer Saturdays into a family rush. Once the water park's open, weekend mornings pick up late and run long with parents and kids. Youth-sports Saturdays do the same. That's nothing like a quiet January weekend, and a flat schedule can't tell the seasons apart.
- Wichita spillover floats underneath all of it. Some weeks the bigger-city traffic lifts your numbers and some weeks it doesn't. We don't guess at it — Coordinex only schedules off the lift your own block actually recorded.
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.
02Can it tell a McConnell weekday from a pool-crowd Saturday?+
That's the whole point. Coordinex learns the base-commute morning and the Rock River Rapids weekend straight from your hourly Square sales, because your own numbers already pulled them apart. You can flag a youth-sports weekend or a holiday by hand the first time, before the model has lived through one.
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.
04Someone clocked in for a friend who called out. 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.
05Honest 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.
06How 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.
07What 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.
