La Plaza Saturday.
Downtown McAllen Monday. The border doesn't share a curve.
Texas floor is $7.25. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Border shopping Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for McAllen, TX.
McAllen, TX
Texas adopts the federal $7.25/hr minimum wage and permits the federal $2.13/hr tipped cash wage when tips make up the difference. Texas law preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so Texas cities do not set a higher city floor. Federal FLSA overtime applies at 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek; there is no California-style daily-overtime trigger.
McAllen coffee demand layers commute, weekend, and event-window patterns. The same staffing for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Downtown McAllen crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
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 McAllen 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.
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. Border-shopping weekends and La Plaza convention weeks 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.

The model learns which local events and repeat dayparts actually show up in your shop's sales history.
For the people who actually pour the coffee.
How McAllen coffee shops run differently
- Downtown McAllen runs on the cross-border-shopping clock. Mexican-tourist traffic builds at 10 and stays through 4; the morning is locals and the afternoon is visitors.
- La Plaza Mall pulls the weekend curve. Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 6 staff nothing like a Tuesday morning. The mall plans for it; your shop should too.
- Border-shopping weekends reshape the month. Hidalgo bridge clearance and shoulder-season retail layers onto the regular weekday pattern. Your Square history shows which weekends actually moved your line.
- The wall calendar in the kitchen — the one with three names crossed out — finally retires. Mara posts Tuesday, Jess covers it, you sign off from the bar.
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.
