Sunday at 10pm, rebuilding next week.
We started Friday morning.
California floor is $16.90. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Coast Highway 101 Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Encinitas, CA.
Encinitas, CA
California requires daily overtime for many nonexempt workers after 8 hours in a workday and double time after 12 hours, plus seventh-day premium pay. Meal periods generally apply after more than 5 hours, paid rest periods are based on 10 minutes per 4 hours or major fraction, and tips cannot be used as a credit against minimum wage. The statewide minimum wage is $16.90/hr effective January 1, 2026; local floors may be higher. Fast-food restaurant employers covered by the state fast-food rule have a $20.00/hr floor. Current local floor used here is $16.90/hr; next scheduled/reviewed change: state annual reset.
Encinitas coffee demand layers commute, weekend, and event-window patterns. The same staffing for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Coast Highway 101 crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning 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 Encinitas 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.
We're not a SaaS company that read a coffee blog. One of us grew up inside a family business; the other is still apologizing to a Sunday-night shift list. Pretend Moonlight Beach on a Tuesday is Leucadia on a Saturday and you'll overstaff one of them, and a flat schedule picks the wrong one every time. 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. California wage assumptions stay visible before publish.
Every Sunday, your demand curve sharpens
It learns which mornings are locals, which weekends bring visitors, and which school weeks shift afternoons.
For the people who actually pour the coffee.
How Encinitas coffee shops run differently
- Surf checks create early demand. Some shops need opener strength before beach visitors or brunch traffic arrive.
- Coast Highway compresses brunch. Visitor foot traffic and local errands can stack into a narrow late-morning window.
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- Shift swaps stop being a group text. Mara posts she can't make Tuesday; Jess taps once and picks it up. You approve from your phone — or auto-approve trusted swaps.
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.
