Teammate Tuesday ⭐💫
This week we’re shining the spotlight on Idalis, a high‑spirited star on the Spare Time team. Idalis has been with us for 8 months, and she brings the good vibes every single shift. As a server, she consistently serves up great food, great service and yes, great hair too. Recently she was honored with our Cheerleader Award for her consistently positive attitude, for cheering everyone on, and for always bringing the best energy to the floor.
Idalis’s favorite menu pick is Buffalo chicken tenders, a perfectly saucy choice for someone who’s always on the move. When she’s not serving up delicious plates, she’s practicing her arcade skills, her favorite game is the slushy machine, which is great practice for the real ice machine when it’s time to serve drinks.
What she loves most about working at Spare Time is chatting with her coworkers. Her personal motto is “I’m a star, how could I not shine” which fits perfectly with her playful superpower of choice: invisibility. It’s a yin yang, shining bright while keeping a low profile.
Outside of work, Idalis is an artist. She loves to paint and is truly talented at it, check below for her art 👇. Her dream vacation is Puerto Rico, and we can only imagine the beautiful painting she’d create there. She also enjoys discovering new movies and shows, thrifting, exploring, and styling her hair.
Idalis, we appreciate you. You bring laughter, joy, and unbeatable vibes to Spare Time, and we couldn’t do it without you. Keep shining.
