Lazy Mike's Staff Texts

Text messages Lazy Mike's sends to its own employees about their work. No marketing.

Who sends them

Lazy Mike's Delicatessen, doing business as Lazy Mike's. The texts come from our staff app, staff.lazymikesdeli.com.

Who gets them

Only employees of Lazy Mike's who agreed to them in the staff app. There is no public sign-up form: only an employee signed in to their own account can opt in.

What the texts are about

Their schedule when it is posted or changed.
Shift reminders.
An alert if they have not clocked in for a scheduled shift.
Answers to their shift swap, cover and time-off requests.
Sign-in codes for the staff app (only when the person asks for one).
Urgent messages from a manager, and staff updates (closures, schedule changes, meetings).

Texts only: no automated phone calls. Links go only to our own addresses, never to a link shortener.

Examples

How often

Message frequency varies, up to 30 messages per week per person. Message and data rates may apply.

How an employee opts in

A manager creates the employee's account. The employee signs in to the staff app on their own phone.
On the first sign-in, account setup shows an optional "Text messages" step: a field for their mobile number and one unticked box with the words below. The links to the SMS Terms and the Privacy Policy are inside those words.
They can tap "Not now" and finish setup without giving a number: nothing else depends on this step, and agreeing is not a condition of employment.
The same box is always in "My account > Text messages", to agree later or to stop.
We keep the exact words the person saw, the version (2026-10-26), the number and the time as proof. Texts start only after the person confirms their number with a code.
