TGI Fridays to Show Appreciation for Delivery Workers

Specialty Food Association

TGI Fridays has designated February 10 as a day to show its appreciation for truck drivers, FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL delivery people, couriers, and carriers.

"Delivery workers continually feel the stress of supply chain challenges. Despite the pandemic and staffing shortages, they load up and drive, fly and deliver all the stuff the rest of the world is constantly tracking because they know everyone is depending on them," said Sara Bittorf, chief experience officer at TGI Fridays, in a statement. "These are the unsung heroes, and we want to celebrate them because they deserve our thanks and gratitude."

On February 10, delivery drivers who show up at any participating Fridays in their work uniform or simply show their credentials, and tell the bartender or server, "I work in the delivery business," will be treated to one of the following appetizers: Green Bean Fries, Loaded Potato Skins, Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls, Warm Pretzels, Chips & Salsa, Pan-Seared Potstickers, or Spinach & Artichoke Dip.
