You knew Tuesday wouldn't be quiet.
Square saw it three months ago.
Texas floor is $7.25. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Kern Place Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for El Paso, TX.
El Paso, TX
Texas follows the federal FLSA standard ($7.25/hr minimum, $2.13/hr tipped) with no state-level increase. Texas state law preempts city wage ordinances. FLSA standard for overtime (1.5x after 40 hours per week). El Paso's heavy military presence (Fort Bliss) creates significant W-2 spousal employment with frequent PCS-driven turnover.
El Paso 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 Kern Place crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Every scheduler we've ever seen asks the manager to type in the busy hours by hand. The manager has thirteen other things to do. So the schedule is a guess wearing software.
Three months of your El Paso 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 Sunset Heights weekday and a Downtown El Paso 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. Texas wage assumptions stay visible before publish.
Every Sunday, your demand curve sharpens
It learns the UTEP semester cliff, the Fort Bliss training-rotation lulls, the cross-border morning shape that varies by checkpoint wait time.
For the people who actually pour the coffee.
How El Paso coffee shops run differently
- Fort Bliss PCS rotations are the year's quiet variable. Roughly 20–30% of W-2 hospitality staff in West Side and East Side cafes are military spouses cycling every 2–3 years.
- The UTEP semester is the headline rhythm for Kern Place / Sunset Heights cafes. Cafes within a mile of campus see a 25–35% weekday drop during finals and break weeks.
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- Mara called out for Tuesday at 9 p.m. Sunday. Jess saw it before you did, picked it up in the app, and the dry-erase board never had to come down.
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.
