Overview
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 energy of a place where it’s always Friday. At TGI Fridays, we’ve always done things our way — bold, passionate, and full of flavour. This role is about more than cooking — it’s performing on a kitchen stage.
This Isn’t Just a Job – It’s Your Stage. We hire kitchen staff who 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. 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.
