Join the Cast at Fridays - Where Every Shift is a Showstopper
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.
From the invention of Loaded Potato Skins to the unmistakable flair of Fridays hospitality, 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.
Your Role - On With the Show
* Deliver consistent, high-quality dishes with pride and pace
* Own your station and maintain the highest safety and hygiene standards
* Bring energy, confidence, and a collaborative spirit to every service
* Add flair to the menu - from our classic burgers and ribs to our signature sides
* Support and uplift your crew, keeping the kitchen vibe strong
* Stay composed under pressure - because the audience is always hungry
* Take part in hands-on training, nationally recognised chef apprenticeships, and ongoing development opportunities
Evening and weekend availability is essential. This is when the lights go up, and the magic happens.
Backstage Perks
* 100% of your gratuities go straight to you - no deductions
* Time and a half paid after 48 hours
* Weekly pay - every Friday
* Nationally recognised qualifications and skills training
* Chef and kitchen apprenticeships available to all team members
* 50% off food for you and up to five friends or family
* Unlimited soft drinks during shifts
* Team events for US holidays like the 4th of July and Thanksgiving
* Performance-based incentives, recognition, and surprise rewards
* Wagestream access - manage your earnings in real time
* Pension scheme and 28 days paid holiday (pro-rata)
* Wellbeing support through Hospitality Action
* Refer-a-Friend scheme
* Long service rewards and team VIP recognition
Please note: TRONC payments average an additional 1.25/hour, depending on location.
