Wages

Labor law

Indiana's minimum wage is $7.25/hr, matching the federal floor, with a tipped cash wage of $2.13/hr when the employer claims the $5.12 maximum tip credit and tips make up the difference to the full minimum wage. Indiana overtime is generally 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek.

Seasonality

Fort Wayne 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 Downtown Fort Wayne crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.

Other tools ask you to forecast Tuesday's rush by typing numbers into a form. The form sits empty. The schedule ships anyway, and the line at 7:30 proves it wrong.

Three months of your Fort Wayne 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. Parkview Field events and hospital shift changes pull different curves from a regular Tuesday, and the schedule shouldn't pretend they're the same. 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.

How Fort Wayne coffee shops run differently

  • Electric Works office traffic changes one part of the curve. Should not be averaged into every Fort Wayne shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
  • Ballpark-event nights add another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Downtown Fort Wayne or Electric Works. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
  • During Parkview Field events, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
  • 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.

Try Coordinex on Tuesday. Connect Square in 4 minutes. Schedule by 9.
