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.

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.

• 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.

Who We Are

We’re proud to celebrate every stripe — whatever makes you, you.
