You open before the sign flips.
We've been ready since Sunday.
Florida floor is $14 and $10.98 tipped. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Spring Break Saturday on PCB and a snowbird-season Tuesday downtown don't staff the same shift.
Coffee shop scheduling for Panama City, FL.
Panama City, 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.
Panama City coffee demand swings hard between Spring Break peak (March-April), summer beach traffic, snowbird season (November-April), and the thin shoulder weeks when PCB empties out. A hurricane-prep Friday in late summer rewrites the day. The same staffing for all of them will overstaff one and short the others.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Downtown Panama City 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 Panama 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.
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. A St. Andrews service windows morning rewrites the rush hour, and a Hathaway Bridge commuter traffic weekend rewrites the rush again — the same staffing for both will miss one. 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 — Spring Break weekends, snowbird-season Tuesdays, and a regular fall morning all draw their own curve. Next week's draft starts from a smaller error than the last.
For Panama City teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Panama City coffee shops run differently
- Downtown Panama City changes one part of the curve. Demand should not be averaged into every Panama City shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Harrison Avenue adds another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Downtown Panama City. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During St. Andrews service windows, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
- 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.
Try Coordinex on Tuesday. Connect Square in 4 minutes. Schedule by 9.
