Sunday at 10pm.
You rebuilt next week. Again.
$19.18 is the floor in San Francisco — every staffed hour costs it. Coordinex reads three months of your hourly Square sales and drafts next week so Tuesday morning and Saturday brunch don't get the same schedule.
San Francisco, CA
San Francisco's 2026 minimum wage is $19.18/hr — set by city ordinance, above California's $16.50 state floor. CA does not allow a tip credit at the state level. SF Formula Retail and Predictable Scheduling Ordinance applies to chain operators with 40+ locations and 20+ employees in SF — most independent shops are exempt. CA daily overtime applies after 8 hours.
San Francisco coffee demand splits across Mission morning commute, FiDi office traffic, and SoMa tech-afternoon walk-ins. Tourist weekends pull the morning forward; foggy weekdays compress it.
What changes Tuesday
It's 10 p.m. on Sunday. You're rewriting next week's roster. Again. Your opener is asleep; you're not.
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 San Francisco 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 Mission morning and a FiDi commute do not staff the same shift, and a SoMa tech-rebound rewrites the math weekly. 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. SF's $19.18 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 San Francisco teams who keep the coffee moving.
How San Francisco coffee shops run differently
- Mission mornings move with the fog and the BART platform. A 7:15 train brings the first wave; foggy weekends pull walk-ins down by a third. The same staffing for sun and fog will miss one.
- FiDi runs on the office clock. 7:30-to-9 is the whole day, four days a week. Friday and weekend, the block is dead.
- SoMa tech rebounds late. Walk-ins at 10:30 and again at 2:30. The morning is light, the afternoon is the question.
- An overstaffed hour at $19.18 is real money. Three of those a week is $230. A year is over $11,000. The math is the pitch.
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.
02Does Coordinex handle SF Formula Retail and Predictable Scheduling?+
Coordinex flags scheduling-change exposure but doesn't auto-comply for you. The ordinance applies to chains with 40+ locations and 20+ SF employees — most independent shops are exempt, but check with counsel. Don't take a marketing page as legal advice.
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.
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.
06We'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.
07Will this work for one shop, or do I need two?+
One shop is the design. Two shops on different blocks get separate models — the morning curve and the office curve don't share.
08What 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.
