You open before the sign flips.
We've been ready since Sunday.
Texas floor is $7.25. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — a Magnolia Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Waco, TX.
Waco, TX
Texas adopts the federal $7.25/hr minimum wage and permits the federal $2.13/hr tipped cash wage when tips make up the difference. Federal FLSA overtime applies at 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek; there is no California-style daily-overtime trigger.
Waco coffee demand layers commute, weekend, and event-window patterns. The same staffing for all three will overstaff one of them.
What changes Tuesday
It's 6:30 a.m. The Magnolia Market crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Here's the part every scheduling app fakes: it asks you to predict the rush, hour by hour, before publish. You skip it every time. Then Tuesday humbles the roster.
Three months of your Waco 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.
We're not a SaaS company that read a coffee blog. One of us grew up inside a family business; the other is still apologizing to a Sunday-night shift list. A Baylor morning rewrites the rush hour, and an I-35 weekend rewrites the rush again — 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.
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. Texas wage assumptions stay visible before publish.
Every Sunday, your demand curve sharpens
The model learns which visitor weeks actually move your shop and which do not.
For Waco teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Waco coffee shops run differently
- Magnolia changes visitor timing. Weekends and tourist mornings can reshape prep and front-of-house coverage.
- Baylor adds academic rhythm. Semester starts, finals, and game days matter for campus-adjacent cafes.
- A weekday morning and a weekend pull don't share a curve. Coordinex draws each one separately so neither overstaffs the other.
- 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.
Try Coordinex on Tuesday. Connect Square in 4 minutes. Schedule by 9.
