Sunday at 10pm, rebuilding next week.
We started Friday morning.
New Mexico floor is $12.00. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Taos Plaza / Downtown Historic District Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Taos, NM.
Taos, NM
New Mexico statewide $12.00 minimum applies in the Town of Taos (no municipal floor above state, unlike Santa Fe at $15 or Las Cruces at $13.01). Tipped cash wage $3.00 with $9.00 tip credit reconciled weekly. No state daily overtime; FLSA only after 40 hours/week. Taos's heavy reliance on tipped foodservice and the dramatic seasonal swing (ski season vs. mud season) makes weekly tip-credit math a real operational chore — late April and early November shoulder weeks routinely leave staff below $12/hr without a manager catching the gap.
Taos 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., powder day. The Taos Plaza / Downtown Historic District line wraps before the lift opens.
Other schedulers want you to enter labor demand by hand on a Sunday night. That's the part nobody actually does. Which is why the rota is wrong before it goes out.
Three months of your Taos 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.
A schedule is only the start of it. When ski season swells the roster with seasonal hires, the ability to offer early pay on hours already worked is a real reason people stay. The same app handles GPS clock-in into payroll-ready hours, the day's tasks, and one message thread for the whole crew — so the Square read sharpens the roster while everything else runs in the same place.
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 Taos Pueblo weekday and a Ranchos de Taos 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.

We connect to your Square account and read three months of hourly sales. We don't change a thing in your Square account. Sign in, give read-only permission, done.
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 Mexico wage assumptions stay visible before publish.
Every Sunday, your demand curve sharpens
Every Sunday it gets a little smarter — it watches what last week actually looked like and tunes itself. The Pulse reports read those hours against your sales, so you can tell whether a powder-day Saturday's staffing actually earned its keep without exporting a single spreadsheet.
For Taos teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Taos coffee shops run differently
- A $3 cash wage and a $12 floor leave no room for a soft afternoon. On a slow weekday, a server can drift under the $12 line before close — Coordinex keeps that math visible before you publish, so you catch it on Friday, not on payroll day.
- Las Fiestas de Taos is the year's tentpole. Jul 17-19 2026, Spanish-cultural plaza celebration.
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- 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.
04Is Coordinex just for building the schedule?+
No — that's one corner of it. You also get GPS clock-in feeding payroll-ready hours, early pay your seasonal crew can draw on shifts they've already worked, assignable daily tasks, an in-app team thread, and Pulse labor reports. For a small mountain-town shop, it replaces a stack of separate apps.
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.
