Run It Like It's Yours
Take full ownership of your restaurant's success - because, in spirit, it is.
You bring proven leadership experience in a high-paced hospitality environment. You’re passionate about creating magical guest experiences. You combine commercial acumen with hands-on operational expertise. You think strategically, lead confidently, and act with flair. You’re committed to building a high-performance team and inclusive culture. You’re available to work evenings and weekends - when the lights are on and the crowd is roaring. Most of all, you lead with energy, optimism, and a belief that work should be as joyful as it is purposeful.
About TGI Fridays
Since 1965, TGI Fridays has brought people together through bold flavour, legendary drinks, and high-energy hospitality. From the invention of the Long Island Iced Tea to making the humble potato skin a global favourite, we've never followed trends - we've created them.
This isn't just a restaurant. It's a revival. A place where freedom, flair, and joy take centre stage - and we're searching for our next leading act.
The Role: Your Stage, Your Script
As General Manager, you are more than a manager. You are a showrunner, culture driver, and visionary. Every shift is a performance. Every team member is part of your ensemble. Every guest is your audience. You will lead the entire operation from front of house to kitchen, from day to night. And your mission is simple: At Fridays, we celebrate every stripe - whoever you are and whatever makes you, you. Diversity and inclusion are not simply ideals - they are the foundation of who we are. Through our "Pridays" forum and inclusive programmes, we support LGBTQ+ rights, gender equity, accessibility, and individuality. We don't ask you to fit in. We invite you to belong.
"No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else." - P.T. Barnum
