Join the Cast at Fridays – Where Every Shift is a Showstopper. Now Casting: Chefs Who Cook With Character. You already know us.
The red and white stripes. The buzz of the dining room. The nostalgia, the stories, the unmistakable energy of a place where it’s always Friday. We’ve always done things our way — bold, passionate, and full of flavour. Now we’re looking for chefs who don’t just cook — they perform.
This Isn’t Just a Job – It’s Your Stage. At TGI Fridays, we don’t just hire kitchen staff — we cast culinary showstoppers. Whether you're on the grill, working the pass, or adding the finishing touch to one of our iconic dishes, every plate you serve is a performance — and every service is a standing ovation waiting to happen. With us, you'll master your craft, bring your personality to the kitchen, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment that rewards authenticity, teamwork, and flair. If you bring the heat, we’ll bring the training, support, and career progression.
