Step Into the Spotlight at TGI Fridays

We don’t need an introduction. You know us — the red and white stripes, the legendary atmosphere, and the energy of a place where it’s always Friday. From our roots in New York City in 1965, we’ve been setting the stage for moments that matter. We invented the Long Island Iced Tea, created the iconic Loaded Potato Skins, and brought a little flair to every guest interaction.

Now, we’re looking for new cast members to join our team.

• Liberty – Bringing your personality to every interaction
• Joy – Creating moments that make people smile
• Nostalgia – Serving up classic Americana with warmth and flair
  
  

No experience? No problem. We’ll train you, support you, and help you grow — with qualifications, skills, and confidence to build your career in hospitality.

Availability

You must be available to work evenings and weekends — when the curtain rises and the energy’s at its peak.
