It's generally very difficult to get a work permit.

First your friend needs to find an employer in Canada who is willing to give him a job offer. Next, that employer must obtain an approved LMIA - this is a long and expensive process for the employer. If the LMIA is approved, then your friend can apply for a work permit.

Maybe your friend can just apply for IEC?

LMIA means the employer has to proof no Canadian can do the job. In a restaurant environment that is hard to do.
