You hire by the cup at 7.
We staffed it from Square at 5.
Minnesota floor is $11.41. We pull 13 weeks of your Square data and draft next week — an I-94 commuter Saturday shouldn't staff like a regular Tuesday morning.
Coffee shop scheduling for Woodbury, MN.
Woodbury, MN
Minnesota's statewide minimum wage is $11.41/hr effective January 1, 2026. Minnesota does not allow a tip credit, so tipped employees must receive at least the applicable minimum wage before tips. Federal FLSA-covered employers may owe overtime after 40 hours in a workweek; Minnesota state overtime applies after 48 hours unless an exemption applies. No statewide fair-workweek or predictive-scheduling rule is modeled here.
Woodbury 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 Tamarack Village crowd is already in line. By 9, the morning is over.
Most scheduling apps still expect you to guess next week's busy hours and type them into a form. You won't, because nobody does. The dry-erase board wins again.
Three months of your Woodbury 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 Tamarack Village retail peaks morning rewrites the rush hour, and a HealthEast campus shifts 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.

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.
For Woodbury teams who keep the coffee moving.
How Woodbury coffee shops run differently
- I-94 commuter windows change one part of the curve. Should not be averaged into every Woodbury shift. Coordinex learns whether that signal actually appears in your Square history.
- Retail weekends add another staffing layer. Can pull a different daypart than Tamarack Village or Woodbury Lakes. The schedule should reflect where your shop actually sits.
- During HealthEast campus shifts, the morning curve runs hotter and longer than a regular weekday. A flat schedule will miss it.
- The wall calendar in the kitchen — the one with three names crossed out — finally retires. Mara posts Tuesday, Jess covers it, you sign off from the bar.
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.
