The dry-erase calendar wins again.
Not next Pocatello Saturday it doesn't.
Idaho floor is $7.25. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — an Idaho State University Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Pocatello, ID.
Pocatello, ID
Idaho minimum wage is $7.25/hr and tracks the federal floor. Idaho tipped employees may be paid a $3.35/hr cash wage when tips bring pay to at least $7.25/hr; employers must make up the difference if tips fall short. Idaho Code Section 44-1502 also preempts local minimum-wage ordinances above the state floor. FLSA weekly overtime applies at 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek; Idaho does not set predictive scheduling rules for coffee shops.
Pocatello 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 6:30 a.m. The Old Town Pocatello crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Other schedulers want you to enter labor demand by hand on a Sunday night. That's the part nobody actually does. Which is why the rota is wrong before it goes out.
Three months of your Pocatello 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 Portneuf Medical Center weekday and a Holt Arena Saturday don't staff the same shift, and one citywide average can't tell them apart. 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. Idaho 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.

How Pocatello coffee shops run differently
- Idaho State University class weeks change one part of the curve. Should not be averaged into every Pocatello shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Portneuf Medical Center adds another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Old Town Pocatello or Idaho State University. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During Holt Arena event days, 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.
