Tuesday's quiet. Then it's not.
Gainesville shops know. We saw it in the data.
Florida floor is $14 and $10.98 tipped. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Gators home-game Saturday and a summer-shoulder Tuesday don't staff the same shift.
Coffee shop scheduling for Gainesville, FL.
Gainesville, 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.
Gainesville coffee runs on an UF academic calendar with a Gators home-game Saturday surge layered on top. Fall and spring semesters are peak; summer is the thin shoulder when students leave. Finals weeks and move-in weekends rewrite the morning curve. The same staffing across the calendar misses the season.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The UF crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
The other apps want a forecast you don't have time to enter. They ship the schedule with empty fields and call it predictive. The roster is wrong before the kitchen lights are on.
Three months of your Gainesville 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. UF class windows and Midtown mornings 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.

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 Gainesville coffee shops run differently
- UF changes one part of the curve. Demand should not be averaged into every Gainesville shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Depot Park adds another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than UF. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During UF class windows, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
- The group text dies in week one. Mara posts she can't make Tuesday; Jess covers it inside the app; trusted swaps auto-approve while you're closing out Sunday.
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.
