Built in Tucson.
For shops that aren't chains.
$15.15 is the floor in Arizona. We grew up around small family businesses; this is the app we wished existed for them — schedule, GPS clock-in, early pay, and team messaging in one place. It reads three months of your hourly Square sales and drafts next week, too.
Tucson, AZ
Arizona's 2026 minimum wage is $15.15/hr. AZ allows a $3.00/hr tip credit, so the tipped cash wage is $12.15 if tips bring total to $15.15. AZ weekly overtime applies after 40 hours; AZ has no daily overtime rule.
Tucson coffee demand splits across Fourth Ave morning commute, UA campus afternoon class days, and Foothills trailhead weekend mornings. Monsoon afternoons and 105-degree summers compress the day onto the morning.
What changes Tuesday
It's 5:30 in Tucson. The Catalina sunrise hits the back wall before the first pour, and last Saturday's hiker rush is already in the Square data.
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 Tucson 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. And the schedule is only the start: once the week is set, baristas clock in from their phones with GPS that flags buddy-punching, opening and closing tasks get assigned and checked off, the whole team trades shifts and messages in one thread, and earned-wage access lets staff draw pay they've already worked before payday — the kind of perk that keeps good people through a slow desert summer. When the week closes, Pulse turns those clock-ins and sales into plain-English labor reports.
We came up inside the kind of shop you're trying to run — Sunday rebuilds, group-text triage, a pen and a guess. Coordinex is what we wished existed back then. A Foothills hiker Saturday and a UA midterm Tuesday do not staff the same shift, and our hometown shops still get this wrong. 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.
Connect Square — 4 minutes
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. Arizona's $15.15 wage assumption stays 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 one.
Then the app runs the floor
Baristas clock in by GPS, work through opening and closing tasks, pick up open shifts, and tap for early pay when they need it. Pulse watches labor against sales and tells you what to fix before payroll.
For Tucson teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Tucson coffee shops run differently
- Fourth Ave runs on the foot-traffic clock. Morning commute is steady; the bar fills again after 9 p.m. on weekends. Pretend Tuesday is Saturday and you'll overstaff one of them.
- UA campus follows the academic calendar. Class days fill the 10-to-2 window. Spring break hollows the whole week. Game weekends rewrite Saturday entirely.
- Foothills weekends pull the early morning. Hikers want a cup before 6 in summer, before 7 the rest of the year. Monsoon weekends cut it in half.
- A 105-degree Tuesday afternoon doesn't need 4 baristas. It needs 1, with the door propped and the patio shaded. Coordinex shows the heat-day pattern your shop already proved last summer.
The floor is $15.15 — the rush math is where it's won or lost
Arizona's 2026 minimum is $15.15/hr ($12.15 tipped, when tips clear the line). A Tucson barista runs $15–16 once they have a little experience. Paying that is the law. The leak is paying four of them for a Tuesday afternoon your Square history says needs one.
Coordinex staffs the hour, not the average
A Foothills hiker Saturday and a UA midterm Tuesday don't cost the same to run — but a flat schedule pays like they do. Coordinex drafts next week from your actual hourly sales, so the labor lands on the hours that earn it.
See the labor line before the team does
The $15.15 assumption stays visible while you edit, so you know roughly what the week costs before you publish it — not after payroll runs Friday. Then it's one tap to send.

Frequently asked
01Why did you build this in Tucson?+
Because we watched a small family business eat Sundays for years rebuilding a schedule that a computer should have built. Coffee shops have the cleanest hourly Square data of any retail category, so we started here.
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.
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.
06We'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.
07What about Arizona tip credit?+
AZ allows a $3.00 tip credit; tipped cash wage is $12.15 if tips bring pay to $15.15. Coordinex shows the assumption applied before publish. We don't auto-flag tip-credit shortfalls yet — keep what you have for that.
08Is this just a scheduler?+
No. Scheduling is one piece. You also get GPS clock-in with buddy-punch detection, opening and closing task lists, team messaging, earned wage access, and Pulse labor reports — the whole shop runs from one app on your phone.
09What 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.
- Free up to 5 teammates
No credit card to start. The free plan stays free — no trial clock on it.

Billed through Apple. Cancel in Settings before it renews — no calls, no emails.
