TGIFridays Job Application / Salary Range
History of TGI Fridays
TGI Fridays was founded by a young American boy who used the expression “Thank God it’s Friday” but now the restaurant claims their logo really is “Thank Goodness it’s Friday.” Many people refer to the restaurant as just “Fridays”. They are an American restaurant chain focusing on casual dining with over 1,000 locations in over 50 countries. The “Fridays” is a unit of the Carlson Companies.
This chain is well known for its appearance, red-striped canopies, brass railings, Tiffany lamps and frequent use of antiques as part of their décor. “Friday’s” has been used as a restaurant for hotels run by Country Inns & Suites by Carlson. The largest “Friday’s” franchise is The Briad Group with about 70 locations in the United States. The highest grossing location is at Haymarket Leicester Square, which opened in 1992 in Central London. They are also noted as the ‘most popular’ branch as well as being financially most successful. Many people enjoy eating at TGIF restaurants and the employee’s find the atmosphere for working very enjoyable.

I've been with TGI Fridays in NY for over 6 yrs and no waitress/waiter makes $8 an hour + tips. In fact in 2010, it's $4.60 an hour. We take 5% of our grand total of customer checks & give it to the house, to help the corporation pay the salaries of the host/hostess/bartender & bussers. We keep the rest. So if all the customers tip 15% of the check total, (items purchased + sales tax) we keep 10% overall. Example: If your total bill is $60 and you tip $10, we give the house $3, (60 x 5%) and we keep $7 of your tip. Trust me, it's not all wonderful because some people have no intention of tipping, no matter how wonderful the service was.
