The dry-erase calendar wins again.
Not next St. George Saturday it doesn't.
Utah floor is $7.25. Coordinex is one app for the whole crew — phone clock-in, shift checklists, team chat, and early access to wages already earned — and it reads 13 weeks of your Square sales to draft next week, because a Historic Downtown Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for St. George, UT.
St. George, UT
Utah follows the federal FLSA standard: $7.25/hr minimum wage, $2.13/hr tipped cash wage when tips make up the difference, and 1.5x overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. Utah state law preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so city wage-floor pressure does not apply.
St. George 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 a Tuesday in February. The Historic Downtown crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Most scheduling apps still expect you to guess next week's busy hours and type them into a form. You won't, because nobody does. The dry-erase board wins again.
Three months of your St. George 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.
Scheduling is just the front door. Each shift carries its own checklist — dial in the grinder, stock the pastry case, prep the cold brew — so a new opener knows exactly what "ready" looks like without you hovering. The team clocks in and out on their phones, fenced to the shop, so the timecard is right and nobody's punching in a friend early. Day-to-day back-and-forth lives in team chat instead of your personal number, and a barista can reach earned wages before payday on a slow Utah week — a real reason to stay through the next scorching summer.
Both of us did time behind a register before we wrote a line of code. The Sunday rebuild is the moment Coordinex was built for. Pretend Green Valley on a Tuesday is Bloomington 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. Utah wage assumptions stay visible before publish.
The crew works the whole shift in it
After you publish, your team clocks in by phone, works the shift checklist, messages you, and taps early pay when they need it — no extra apps. Each week's actual sales also feed back in, so the next draft starts from a smaller error than the last.
For St. George teams who keep the coffee moving.
How St. George coffee shops run differently
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- 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.
- On the slow weeks, Pulse shows you where the hours actually went and who's edging toward overtime — and because every punch is GPS-verified, the labor number you're reading is the real one, not a rounded guess.
Frequently asked
01Is this only for making schedules?+
No — that's one piece. Coordinex also handles phone-based time clock with GPS, per-shift task lists, team messaging, early wage access for staff, shared documents, and Pulse labor reports. The Square data powers the schedule forecast in particular, and everything else runs with or without it.
02What 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.
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.
04We'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.
05Honest 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.
06How 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.
07What 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.
