Sunday's roster lives in your head.
We drafted it Friday.
Florida floor is $14 and $10.98 tipped. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Port Everglades cruise Saturday and a Spring Break weekend don't staff the same shift.
Coffee shop scheduling for Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Florida's state minimum wage is $14.00/hr (2026) with a tipped cash wage of $10.98/hr (Florida allows a $3.02 tip credit). The floor adjusts annually per the 2020 voter amendment, scheduled to reach $15.00/hr by September 2026. Federal FLSA overtime applies at 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek; Florida does not impose a daily-overtime trigger.
Fort Lauderdale coffee runs on a Port Everglades cruise-morning rhythm, a Las Olas evening pull, and a Spring Break weekend surge that rewrites the staffing calendar in March. Snowbird-season shift demand peaks November-April; May through October is the thinner shoulder roster. A hurricane-prep Friday in late summer compresses the afternoon shift.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Las Olas 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 Fort Lauderdale 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. Pretend Flagler Village on a Tuesday is Broward Boulevard 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. Florida wage assumptions stay visible before publish.
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.
For the people who actually pour the coffee.
How Fort Lauderdale coffee shops run differently
- Las Olas changes one part of the curve. Demand should not be averaged into every Fort Lauderdale shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Intracoastal adds another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Las Olas. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During Las Olas mornings, 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.
