It's 5:30 in Rio Rancho.
Intel's first shift is already at the bar.
$12.00 is the floor in New Mexico. Coordinex is the whole workforce app on one iPhone — scheduling, GPS clock-in, job checklists, a team thread, early pay, and a Pulse read on labor cost. It learns from three months of your Square sales so an Intel shift-change Tuesday and a Balloon Fiesta Saturday never share a roster.
Coffee shop scheduling for Rio Rancho, NM.
Rio Rancho, NM
New Mexico's 2026 minimum wage is $12.00/hr. NM allows a tipped cash wage of $3.00/hr if tips bring total pay to $12.00. NM weekly overtime applies after 40 hours; NM has no daily overtime rule. Rio Rancho is in Sandoval County and uses the state floor.
Rio Rancho demand layers tech shift-change windows over a regular commute curve. Friday hybrid days don't look like Mondays.
What changes Tuesday
It's 5:30 a.m. The first Enchanted Hills shift change is already done. The office crowd is still asleep.
The other apps want a forecast you don't have time to enter. They ship the schedule with empty fields and call it predictive. The roster is wrong before the kitchen lights are on.
Three months of your Rio Rancho 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.
But scheduling is one tool in a fuller kit. The shift change at 2 still happens whether or not the roster nailed it — so the crew clocks in by GPS at the door, the closing tasks ride the right shift, and the day's chatter lives in one team thread instead of five reply-all texts. A barista who can't wait for Friday pulls the wages they've already earned, no payday-lender detour. And every Sunday, Pulse hands you the labor-cost and overtime picture in a glance instead of a workbook you have to assemble.
We're not a SaaS company that read a coffee blog. One of us grew up inside a family business; the other is still apologizing to a Sunday-night shift list. A Loma Colorado weekday and a Cabezon 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.

How Rio Rancho coffee shops run differently
- Intel Rio Rancho runs the rhythm. Three shifts, the 6 a.m. wave is the loud one; the 2 p.m. shift-change is the one most cafes miss. Pretend Tuesday is Saturday and you'll overstaff one.
- Balloon Fiesta lifts the whole metro. October's nine days bring 500+ balloons to a launch field 5 miles away. Pre-dawn cafes lift 2x for a week and a half.
- Loma Colorado and Cabezon run on suburban-school clocks. Drop-off at 7:30, pickup at 2:30. A flat schedule misses both rushes and overstaffs the middle of the day.
- The $3.00 tipped cash wage means a slow weekday afternoon can leave a barista below the $12 floor — Coordinex shows the assumption before publish so the wrong call doesn't surprise you on payroll day.
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.
