You open before the sign flips.
We've been ready since Sunday.
New York floor is $17.00. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Ferry Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Staten Island, NY.
Staten Island, NY
New York State Department of Labor 2026 tables list a $17.00/hr general minimum wage for New York City. Hospitality food-service tipped workers may use a $11.35 cash wage plus a tip credit up to $5.65 when tips make up the difference; tipped service employees use $14.15 cash wage plus $2.85 tip credit. For tipped workers, overtime is time-and-one-half the minimum wage rate, less the applicable tip credit. NYC Fair Workweek rules cover fast food, retail, and utility safety workers; this page must not imply every independent coffee shop is covered.
Staten Island 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 ferry-terminal 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 Staten Island 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. Pretend St. George on a Tuesday is Tottenville 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. New York 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 — ferry waves, bridge-traffic mornings, retail peaks — so next week's draft starts from a smaller error than the last.
For Staten Island teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Staten Island coffee shops run differently
- St. George ferry commute waves change one part of the curve. They should not be averaged into every Staten Island shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Bridge-traffic windows add another staffing layer. They can pull a different daypart than the ferry terminal or Tottenville. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During retail peaks, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
- No more Sunday-night triage of who's covering Wednesday. Mara hands the shift back; Jess picks it up; if she's on your trusted list, the swap clears itself.
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.
