You knew Tuesday wouldn't be quiet.
Square saw it three months ago.
Oregon floor is $16.30. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Pearl District office Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Portland, OR.
Portland, OR
Oregon uses regional minimum wage tiers and does not allow a tip credit. Portland Metro covered work inside the urban growth boundary uses the higher $16.30/hr floor through June 30, 2026; the Oregon standard rate is $15.05/hr and the nonurban county rate is $14.05/hr. Tipped baristas must receive the full applicable minimum wage before tips, and FLSA weekly overtime applies at 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek. Covered large retail, hospitality, and food-service employers should also account for Oregon predictive scheduling obligations.
Portland 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 Pearl District 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 Portland 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. Pretend Downtown Portland on a Tuesday is Hawthorne 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. Oregon 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.
For Portland teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Portland coffee shops run differently
- Pearl District changes one part of the curve. Demand should not be averaged into every Portland shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Alberta Arts adds another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Pearl District or Downtown Portland. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During Downtown Portland visitor and commute days, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
- Mara's kid is sick and Tuesday's open. She posts it, Jess takes it, and the only message on your phone is the one that says it's already done.
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.
