Built for Texas coffee shops

A Buc-ee's Saturday isn't a Tuesday morning.
We drafted both.

Texas floor is $7.25 and $2.13 tipped. Coordinex reads 13 weeks of your Square data and drafts next week in 12 minutes — a College Station finals Tuesday shouldn't staff like a Galveston seawall Saturday.

tipped minimum
Labor law

Texas adopts the federal $7.25/hr minimum wage and the federal $2.13/hr tipped cash wage when tips make up the difference. Texas Labor Code preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so Texas cities do not set a higher city floor. Federal FLSA overtime applies at 1.5x the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek; Texas does not impose a daily-overtime trigger.

Seasonality

Texas coffee demand layers commute, college, oil, tourism, and weather curves. Houston refineries shift change rewrites the morning rush, Austin during SXSW or finals rewrites the afternoon, and a Hill Country summer Saturday rewrites the weekend — same staffing for all of them misses one.

What changes Tuesday

It's 6:30 a.m. The Houston block is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.

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 Texas 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 regular Tuesday weekday and a Buc-ee's Saturday don't share a curve, and the citywide average is what makes that invisible until publish. The Wednesday after a finals week and the Saturday during a Hill Country tourism weekend are different shops entirely, no matter what last quarter's average says.

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 Buc-ee's-adjacent Saturday and a Tuesday inside the Loop pull different curves from a regular weekday — the same staffing for both will miss one. 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.

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.

02Is it only scheduling, or does it do more?+

More. Earned wage access pays an Austin barista what they've earned before payday — no payday lender — geofenced clock-in flags a buddy-punch, and a shift swap is one tap. All on iPhone, all off the Square data you already have.

03Texas is huge — does the same approach work for Brownsville and Amarillo?+

Yes, because the inputs are local: your block's Square data, not a citywide or statewide average. A border-corridor morning and a Panhandle afternoon look nothing alike, and Coordinex reads each shop on its own.

04Does Texas have predictive scheduling laws?+

No. Texas Labor Code preempts local minimum-wage and predictive-scheduling ordinances. The federal floor of $7.25 (and $2.13 tipped) applies statewide. We surface those numbers above your draft so you don't price a shift past margin.

05What about overtime?+

Federal FLSA standard: 1.5x the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Texas does not impose a daily-overtime trigger. Coordinex flags an OT-bound week before publish, not after the fact.

06How long does setup take?+

About four minutes for the Square OAuth and another ten before the first draft is ready. Most owners ship next week's schedule the same Sunday they connect.

07Who's behind it?+

Independent owner-operators who grew up inside small businesses. Built for the same kind of shop, with no enterprise overlay. We charge a small monthly fee, no per-employee tax.

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.

Try Coordinex on Tuesday. Connect Square in 4 minutes. Schedule by 9.
