Host/Hostess - We Do Days!

Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group began as a small dining establishment nestled in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans and has blossomed into a prominent operator of two distinct restaurant brands with more than 20 locations spread throughout the Southeastern United States. The group’s two flagship concepts — Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine — are renowned for bringing an authentic taste of New Orleans culture, especially through their dedicated brunch offerings, to a broad audience. Despite this impressive expansion, Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group remains deeply committed to its roots, celebrating the rich culinary heritage and vibrant spirit that define New Orleans cuisine and hospitality. This dedication has helped establish the group as a beloved dining destination, attracting both locals and tourists who crave the signature flavors and warm hospitality synonymous with the Big Easy.

The role offered is that of a Greeter within Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group, a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing team passionate about delivering exceptional guest experiences centered around an all-day brunch concept. The Ruby Slipper brand is particularly attractive due to its exclusive focus on breakfast and lunch service, allowing employees the rare advantage of working only during daytime hours and enjoying evenings free for personal time. This role is perfect for individuals who thrive in lively, customer-focused environments and who take pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere that embodies the hospitality spirit of New Orleans.

As a Greeter, you will be the first point of contact for our guests, responsible for warmly welcoming them upon arrival, managing guest seating efficiently, and ensuring that each visitor's preference is catered to with care and attention. This role requires a friendly, personable nature along with excellent organizational skills to accommodate timely seating, including managing waiting lists when the restaurant is busy. You will engage guests by recognizing regular customers by name and providing personalized recommendations not only about the menu but also about local attractions to enhance their overall dining experience.

In addition to greeting and seating, you may be asked to assist with maintaining the cleanliness and organization of the dining area, including clearing and sanitizing tables and ensuring an adequate supply of menus. These responsibilities help ensure the restaurant operates smoothly and continues to meet the high standards of guest service the Ruby Slipper brand is known for.

Working with Ruby Slipper means joining a team that deeply values employee wellbeing and growth. The company offers medical and dental benefits, paid time off, and opportunities for advancement and pay increases. Employees also enjoy family meal provisions and discounts, reinforcing the company’s commitment to a supportive and inclusive workplace culture. The role promises a balanced work-life schedule with daytime shifts only, making it ideal for those seeking a career in hospitality without the demands of late-night shifts.

Joining Ruby Slipper as a Greeter is more than just taking a job — it’s becoming part of a vibrant and growing community that celebrates Southern hospitality, great food, and meaningful connections with guests. This position offers a unique chance to grow alongside a dynamic company that holds to the principle that good food, great service, and a hospitable spirit all begin with a smile and a warm welcome at the door.
