Who We Are:

At Ruby Sunshine, we believe brunch isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience built on connection, hospitality, and the spirit and soul of New Orleans with amazing scratch cooking. Our Restaurant Managers bring that experience to life every day. They lead with heart, hustle, and a commitment to creating gracious, memorable moments for our Krewe and our guests.

We’re looking for a motivating, hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume brunch environment and knows how to balance warm hospitality with strong operational execution. If you love people, love great food, and love a good challenge, this role may be your perfect recipe.
