Why Fridays

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.

Who We Are

We're proud to celebrate every stripe — whatever makes you, you. Inclusion and individuality are at the heart of Fridays. Our "Pridays" programme and inclusive initiatives support LGBTQ+ rights, gender equity, accessibility, and more. We believe you shouldn't have to fit in — you should feel like you belong. "No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else." – P.T. Barnum

Ready to Join the Show?

If you're over school-leaving age and ready to be part of a cast where craft meets celebration, teamwork becomes theatre, and joy takes centre stage — step into the kitchen. Lights up. Curtain call. Chef coats on. Apply now — and let's make some theatre (and a little mess).
