Step Into the Spotlight: Deputy General Manager

Lead The Show Where Every Shift Is Showtime

The red and white stripes. The buzz of Americana. The energy of clinking cocktail shakers and the roar of a crowd. Since 1965, TGI Fridays has been more than a restaurant — it’s been a stage for unforgettable experiences.

Before flair became famous — we created it.

Before bartenders were performers — we trained them.

Before snacks became legends — we served up the original Loaded Potato Skins.

This isn’t just a job. It’s an act of passion, a rhythm of service, and a full-throttle celebration of food, people, and high-impact hospitality. We don’t just serve — we create moments. Every shift, every plate, every Friday.

Your Role: Director of the Floor

As a Deputy General Manager at Fridays, you’re not behind the scenes — you’re front and centre. You lead with energy, direct the performance of your team, and set the pace for a memorable guest experience. You’re a motivator, a mentor, and a strategist. You bring vision, flair, and confidence — and in return, you gain the foundation to run your own Fridays location in the near future.
