You hire by the cup at 7.
We staffed it from Square at 5.
Michigan floor is $13.73. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Big Beaver office Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Troy, MI.
Troy, MI
Michigan's minimum wage is $13.73/hr effective January 1, 2026. Michigan LEO lists the tipped employee rate at $5.49/hr, equal to 40% of the full minimum wage, when tips bring the employee to at least the full minimum wage; the implied max tip credit is $8.24. Overtime is generally 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek for nonexempt employees. No statewide fair-workweek or predictive-scheduling rule is modeled here.
Troy 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 Somerset Collection 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 Troy 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. A regular Somerset Collection weekday and a Somerset retail peaks weekend don't share a curve, and the citywide average is what makes that invisible until publish. 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. Michigan 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. Next week's draft starts from a smaller error than the last.

How Troy coffee shops run differently
- Big Beaver office mornings change one part of the curve. Should not be averaged into every Troy shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Holiday shopping weeks add another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Somerset Collection or Big Beaver corridor. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During Somerset retail peaks, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
- Mara called out for Tuesday at 9 p.m. Sunday. Jess saw it before you did, picked it up in the app, and the dry-erase board never had to come down.
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.
