You open before the sign flips.
We've been ready since Sunday.
Texas floor is $7.25. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Texas State semester finals week shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for San Marcos, TX.
San Marcos, TX
Texas adopts the federal $7.25/hr minimum wage and permits the federal $2.13/hr tipped cash wage when tips make up the difference. Texas law preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so Texas cities do not set a higher city floor. Federal FLSA overtime applies at 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek; there is no California-style daily-overtime trigger.
San Marcos coffee demand layers commute, weekend, and event-window patterns. The same staffing for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Texas State University crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Other tools ask you to forecast Tuesday's rush by typing numbers into a form. The form sits empty. The schedule ships anyway, and the line at 7:30 proves it wrong.
Three months of your San Marcos 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'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. River weekends and outlet retail pull different curves from a regular Tuesday, and the schedule shouldn't pretend they're the same. 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.

Every Sunday, your demand curve sharpens
The model learns which local events and repeat dayparts actually show up in your shop's sales history.
For San Marcos teams who keep the coffee moving.
How San Marcos coffee shops run differently
- Texas State University runs on the semester clock. Move-in weekend triples the August Saturday curve; finals stretch the late-afternoon library run past 5. Two months, two different shops.
- San Marcos Square pulls the weekend tourism crowd. Tanger-outlet adjacency and Square walking traffic lift the 11-to-3 window — your Tuesday is mostly locals and your Saturday is mostly visitors.
- River weekends from May through September reshape the morning. Tubing-shuttle traffic stacks before 9, then collapses to nothing past 2. A flat schedule mistakes the burst for the day's curve.
- Tuesday cover used to be a fourteen-text group thread. Now Mara posts the open shift, Jess taps once, and you approve before you've finished cash-up.
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.
