The Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group operates a daytime-focused dining concept, with breakfast and brunch at its core, complemented by lunch and cocktails seven days a week. The company is based in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by Jennifer and Erich Weishaupt, who transformed a blighted corner store in Mid-City into a welcoming restaurant. It oversees both the Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine brands, with the original Ruby Slipper Café opening in New Orleans more than a dozen years ago and later expanding to Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The group has partnered with Cafe Reconcile, a nonprofit workforce training program in New Orleans, to prepare ambitious young adults for careers in hospitality. The organization is a mid-sized group in the casual dining segment, employing a workforce in the hundreds and focusing on hospitality and made-from-scratch flavors served during the daytime. In 2025, the group was recognized by Newsweek's Readers' Choice Awards as among America's top breakfast chains.
