Duval Street mornings.
Mallory Square service windows.
Florida floor is $14 and $10.98 tipped. Coordinex reads 13 weeks of your hourly Square sales and drafts next week — a Mallory Square cruise-ship morning and a snowbird-season Tuesday don't share a schedule.
Coffee shop scheduling for Key West, FL.
Key West, 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.
Key West coffee runs on a different calendar than the mainland: cruise-ship mornings at Mallory Square spike whichever day the ship is in, Spring Break stretches Old Town late and early, and snowbird season (November-April) is the peak — May through October is thinner. Hurricane-prep Fridays in late summer empty the bar by noon.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Duval Street crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Every scheduler we've ever seen asks the manager to type in the busy hours by hand. The manager has thirteen other things to do. So the schedule is a guess wearing software.
Three months of your Key West 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. A regular Truman Annex weekday and a Stock Island shift-change weekend don't share a curve, and the citywide average is what makes that invisible 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.

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 Key West teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Key West coffee shops run differently
- Duval Street changes one part of the curve. Demand should not be averaged into every Key West shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Stock Island adds another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Duval Street. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- 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.
