Join the Greatest Show in Hospitality
You already know who we are.
We're the masters of red and white. The curators of celebration. The creators of flavour.
From our beginnings in 1965 New York City to today's vibrant venues, TGI Fridays has always been more than a restaurant - we're a stage for moments that matter. We invented the Long Island Iced Tea. We turned Loaded Potato Skins into an icon. We brought flair, energy, and rhythm to the world of hospitality.
Now, we're looking for someone to join the performance.
Your Role: Kitchen Assistant
As a Kitchen Assistant, you're not just part of the show - you're the heartbeat behind it.
From keeping the kitchen spotless to supporting chefs with prep and presentation, your attention to detail ensures every shift runs smoothly. You'll help maintain a clean, safe, and efficient workspace and support the wider team to deliver service that hits all the right notes.
No experience? That's fine.
What matters is enthusiasm, teamwork, and a genuine love of food. We'll provide all the training you need so you're ready to contribute from day one.
Evening and weekend availability is essential - when the action's live and the energy's high.
Your Backstage Perks
At Fridays, we reward effort, encourage ambition, and make every shift count. Here's what you can expect:

• 100% of gratuities go directly to you
• Time and a half for hours worked over 48 per week
• Flexible shift patterns that work with your life
• Weekly pay - every Friday
• Full access to pension scheme
• Career development pathways and nationally recognised apprenticeships
• 50% off food for you and up to five guests
• Unlimited soft drinks during shifts
• Team events for holidays like the 4th of July and Thanksgiving
• Recognition programmes and performance-based incentives
• Wagestream access to manage your pay in real time
• Refer-a-Friend bonuses
• 28 days paid holiday (pro-rata)
• Long service awards and team appreciation initiatives

TRONC payments average an additional 1.25/hour - not guaranteed, but a regular bonus at many venues.
Who We Are
We're proud to celebrate every stripe - whoever you are, and whatever you bring.
Inclusion is part of our foundation. Through our "Pridays" community and wide-reaching initiatives, we champion LGBTQ+ rights, accessibility, gender equity, and individuality across every team. At Fridays, you don't need to fit in - you need to belong.
"No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else." - P.T. Barnum
