Friday afternoon, the rota isn't done.
We already know who you'll need.
Utah floor is $7.25. Coordinex carries the whole operation on one phone — the schedule, GPS clock-in, the shift board, team messaging, and early pay for a seasonal crew. Thirteen weeks of your Square data sharpens the draft, so a Main Street Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Moab, UT.
Moab, UT
Utah follows the federal FLSA standard: $7.25/hr minimum wage, $2.13/hr tipped cash wage when tips make up the difference, and 1.5x overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. Utah state law preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so city wage-floor pressure does not apply.
Moab coffee demand splits across morning commute rushes, afternoon walk-in traffic, and weekend brunch pulls. The same staffing for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 9 a.m., Saturday. The Main Street line is forty deep. Tuesdays look nothing like this.
Most scheduling apps still expect you to guess next week's busy hours and type them into a form. You won't, because nobody does. The dry-erase board wins again.
Three months of your Moab 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 where you start, not where it ends. The opening routine lives in the app as tasks the crew checks off, clock-in is pinned to Main Street so a punch can't happen from the trailhead, the whole seasonal team stays on one thread instead of a dozen group texts, and early pay lets a summer hire pull what they've earned without waiting two weeks. It's the back of house on a phone, not just a roster.
Both of us did time behind a register before we wrote a line of code. The Sunday rebuild is the moment Coordinex was built for. Pretend Arches corridor on a Tuesday is Moab Valley 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.

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. Utah 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. Pulse reads the result back to you — labor cost, overtime creep, who's getting stretched thin in peak season — as a short brief instead of a spreadsheet you'd never open.
For the people who actually pour the coffee.
How Moab coffee shops run differently
- Arches is the demand signal. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks pulls visitors into Moab; coffee demand concentrates around early starts and return windows.
- Weekend rhythm beats weekday averages. A Saturday visitor curve should not inflate every weekday. Coordinex separates recurring weekend lift from normal resident traffic.
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- Tuesday cover used to be a fourteen-text group thread. Now Mara posts the open shift, Jess taps once, and you approve before you've finished cash-up.
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.
