Sunday night, the Kansas City schedule
is still a guess. We already drafted it.
The Kansas floor is $7.25, and a KU Med Tuesday and a Kansas Speedway Saturday never fill the same way. Coordinex reads what your shop already rang up and hands you next week — so you edit instead of guess.
Coffee shop scheduling for Kansas City, KS.
Kansas City, KS
Kansas's minimum wage is $7.25/hr for employees not covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, and covered coffee-shop employers generally still use the federal $7.25/hr floor. The U.S. Department of Labor tipped-wage table lists Kansas at a $2.13/hr minimum cash wage with a $5.12 max tip credit when tips make up the difference to the full minimum wage. Kansas state overtime law applies after 46 hours for non-FLSA employers, while the federal FLSA generally requires 1.5x after 40 hours for covered employers. No statewide fair-workweek or predictive-scheduling rule is modeled here.
Kansas City demand stacks rhythms that don't line up: KU Medical Center shift changes, Legends Outlets retail waves, Kansas Speedway race weekends, Strawberry Hill mornings, and the downtown KCK workday. Soccer nights, concerts, and I-70 travelers layer on top. Coordinex learns which of those actually show up in your Square history — instead of flattening the whole city into one Kansas average.
What changes Tuesday
Strawberry Hill wakes up before 6, and the opener wave is gone by 9. A KU Med shift change refills the bar mid-morning. Then a Speedway weekend rewrites Saturday entirely. Three rushes, one shop, none of them on the same clock.
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 Kansas City 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 roster on Sunday night with a pen and a guess. Coordinex is the version we wished existed back then, ported to coffee. A quiet Strawberry Hill weekday and a Kansas Speedway race Saturday never wanted the same crew — but the one Kansas average flattens both, and you don't see the gap until publish. 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 Kansas City coffee shops run differently
- KU Med runs on shift changes, not the commute. Nurses and techs roll in around 7 and again after 3 — a second rush a downtown template never sees coming. If your shop catches that wave, your Square history already shows it. Coordinex sees it too, and staffs the wave instead of the average.
- Kansas Speedway weekends rewrite Saturday. A race weekend at the Legends end of town can put more cars on I-70 by 8 a.m. than a normal week sees all morning. You'll want your strongest opener on. The next Saturday with no race, you won't — and the schedule should already know the difference.
- Strawberry Hill and the downtown KCK workday keep different clocks. The Hill fills early and empties by 9; the downtown crowd trickles through lunch. One flat weekday schedule overstaffs one of them every single time.
- Sunday night stops being triage. Someone calls out for Wednesday, a teammate taps once to cover it, and if they're on your trusted list the swap clears itself. You'll see it from your phone at the bar — you've run your last group text. Kansas City shops know that Sunday feeling. We built this to end it.
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.
