General Manager
TGI Fridays UK
Date: 16 hours ago
City: Rushden
Contract type: Full time

We don’t need an introduction. You’ve heard of us before. Legendary Red and white stripes. Clutter filling our restaurants to the brim. A history dating back to 1965 New York City.
Tom Cruise didn’t teach himself to flair in Cocktail, we did.
The Long Island ice tea wasn’t created on it own, we created it.
Loaded potato skins..? Yep it was us!
This isn’t just a job, this is a way of life. This is family. We live and we breathe our TGI Fridays values.
In here we work hard, we want to succeed, we want to progress…and we want to party.
In here, everyday is Friday. A TGI Friday…
Being a General Manager…
You will have full accountability for the management and operation of your TGI Fridays Store. Your role is to guarantee an amazing experience for guests so that they love our offering, keep coming back and tell the world how much they love us. You also need to give the same experience to your teams: they need to feel valued, recognised and want to continue building their career with TGI Fridays. You will develop and grow your team, meet and exceed sales, profits and all other objectives in line with TGI Friday’s business strategy.
You will treat the business as if it were your own, understand the impact of your leadership and lead by example.
