It's 5:45 in Phoenix.
The morning is the whole shop.
$15.15 is the floor in Arizona. Coordinex runs the whole shop off your phone — the schedule, the open/close task list, GPS clock-in, early pay your baristas can tap, and team messages in one place. Three months of your hourly Square sales tells the draft that the 6 a.m. cool window and the 2 p.m. heat-flat don't staff the same.
Phoenix, AZ
Arizona's 2026 minimum wage is $15.15/hr. AZ allows a $3.00/hr tip credit, so the tipped cash wage is $12.15 if tips bring total to $15.15. AZ weekly overtime applies after 40 hours; AZ has no daily overtime rule. Flagstaff has a higher city floor; Phoenix uses the state rate.
Phoenix coffee demand splits across pre-heat morning rushes, downtown commute traffic, and weekend Camelback trailhead pulls. June through September empties the afternoon to almost nothing.
What changes Tuesday
5:45 a.m. The hike crowd hits before 6:15. By 11, the patio is empty.
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 Phoenix mornings already sit in your Square account. Real numbers. Hour by hour. The thing nobody flips through during a Sunday rebuild. That history is one input, not the whole app.
Once the week is posted, the rest of the shop lives in the same place. The opening checklist and the "restock oat milk" task land on the right barista's phone. Clock-ins are pinned to the address, so the 5:45 punch happened at the bar, not in the parking lot. A 2 p.m. shift-swap gets sorted in the team thread instead of a group text you'll lose. And Pulse quietly watches the labor math — overtime creeping, a slow Tuesday you overstaffed — and tells you in plain English before payroll does.
You still run the shop. We're not pretending the app knows your team better than you do.
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. A summer-morning rush in Roosevelt Row and a Camelback hiker Saturday do not staff the same way, and a 110-degree afternoon flattens both. 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.
Connect Square — 4 minutes
We connect to your Square account and read three months of hourly sales — read-only, nothing changes on Square's side. Same sign-in turns on the rest: invite the team, switch on GPS clock-in, and flip on early pay so baristas can tap wages they've already earned.
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. Arizona's $15.15 wage assumption stays 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 one.
For Phoenix teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Phoenix coffee shops run differently
- Roosevelt Row pulls the morning forward in summer. First Friday weekends spike again at night. June through September the patio is dead by noon. The same staffing for both will overstaff the back half of the day.
- Downtown commute lands twice. Office mornings hit at 7:30; light-rail walks the late afternoon. The middle of the day is the question — quieter than you think.
- Camelback rewrites the Saturday morning. Hikers want a cup before 6 in summer, before 7 the rest of the year. Bluebird weekends pull the line; monsoon weekends cut it in half.
- A 110-degree Tuesday afternoon doesn't need 4 baristas on the floor. It needs 1, with the door propped open and the patio shaded. Coordinex shows the heat-day pattern your shop already proved last summer.
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.
02What does it do with the summer afternoons when nobody comes in?+
It learns the heat-flat from your Square history. If 2 to 5 p.m. has been dead three months running, the draft staffs for that. You spend less on coverage no one needed.
03My 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.
04Is this just scheduling, or does it run the rest of the shop too?+
It runs the rest. Open and close checklists as assignable tasks, GPS clock-in and timesheets, early pay, and a team thread for swaps and announcements all live in the same app. Pulse reads your hours and sales and flags overtime drift or a quiet afternoon you overstaffed — the labor report writes itself.
05Honest 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.
06How 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.
07We'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.
08What about Arizona tip credit?+
AZ allows a $3.00 tip credit; tipped cash wage is $12.15 if tips bring pay to $15.15. Coordinex shows the assumption applied before publish. We don't auto-flag tip-credit shortfalls yet — keep what you have for that.
09What 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.
