Cardinals home game Sunday.
The rest of the week looks nothing like it.
Scheduling, GPS clock-in, shift coverage, early pay, and team chat in one app — the whole crew, not just the calendar. It also reads three months of your hourly Square sales so a State Farm Stadium Sunday and a regular Catlin Court Tuesday don't share a schedule.
Coffee shop scheduling for Glendale, AZ.
Glendale, AZ
Arizona's 2026 minimum wage is $15.15/hr. AZ allows a $3.00/hr tip credit, so the tipped cash wage is $12.15 if tips bring total to $15.15. AZ weekly overtime applies after 40 hours; AZ has no daily overtime rule. Glendale has no city-level minimum.
Glendale demand spikes around event days and quiets between them. A flat schedule will miss both.
What changes Tuesday
It's an event morning. The Westgate Entertainment District crowd hits early. By kickoff, the line is gone.
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 Glendale 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.
The schedule is just where it starts. When a game-day surge leaves you short, you post the open shift to the team and someone grabs it from their phone — no working the phone tree at 6 a.m. Baristas clock in on location, so a punch only counts when they're actually at the counter, and they trade shift notes in a team chat built for the shop instead of a thread nobody reads. Anyone who needs money before payday can draw on wages they've already earned, and Pulse keeps a running eye on overtime and attendance so a packed Cardinals week doesn't blow your labor cost open.
We came up inside the kind of shop you're trying to run — Sunday rebuilds, group-text triage, a pen and a guess. Coordinex is what we wished existed back then. Pretend Westgate Entertainment District on a Tuesday is Historic Downtown Glendale / Catlin Court 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.

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. Arizona's $15.15 wage assumption stays visible before publish.
Cover the gaps and run the day
Post open shifts for the team to claim, track GPS clock-in and shift tasks, message the crew, and let staff cash out earned pay — all in one place. Each Sunday it gets a little smarter, watching what last week actually looked like and tuning itself.
For Glendale teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Glendale coffee shops run differently
- Cardinals home games are the year's tentpole. Eight regular-season Sundays plus playoffs at State Farm Stadium. Pre-game cafes lift 2-3x; a flat schedule misses the kickoff crowd and overstaffs the rest of the week.
- Catlin Court runs on weekday foot traffic. The blocks fill at lunch but stay quiet at breakfast. Pretend it's a commute neighborhood and you'll overstaff every weekday morning.
- Spring training and concerts add unplanned Saturdays. Late February through March and the summer concert season can lift a Saturday 1.5x without warning a generic scheduler.
- A 110-degree July afternoon doesn't need 4 baristas. It needs 1, door propped, patio shaded. Coordinex shows the heat-day pattern your shop already proved last summer.
Frequently asked
01What does Coordinex do besides scheduling?+
Quite a lot. It runs GPS clock-in, opening and closing tasks, team messaging, early wage access, and a Pulse view with labor reports — and it lets staff claim open shifts to cover game-day gaps. Reading your Square sales is what makes the schedule accurate; the rest is the day-to-day of running the crew.
02What 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.
03How do I cover a sudden game-day gap?+
Post the open shift to your team in the app. Whoever's free claims it from their phone, you approve with a tap, and the clock-in is tied to your shop's location so the punch only counts at the counter.
04My 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.
05We'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.
06Honest 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.
07How 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.
08What 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.
