About Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group
Born in New Orleans’ Mid-City neighborhood, Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group has grown to operate two beloved brands—Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine—now with 26 (and growing!) restaurants across six states in the Southeast. We bring the spirit and soul of New Orleans to brunch, serving up biscuits, beignets, and bacon with a side of gracious hospitality.
We were recently recognized by Newsweek Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Awards as one of the Top 10 Breakfast Restaurant Companies in the U.S. (#2 overall!), and we’re just getting started.
Position Overview
We are seeking a creative, motivated, and detail-oriented Marketing Intern to join our team. This role is ideal for a student or early-career professional interested in gaining hands-on experience in restaurant marketing, brand storytelling, and community engagement. You will support the marketing team with campaigns, events, social media, and promotions that help bring the Ruby Slipper experience to life for our guests and Krewe alike.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist with execution of marketing campaigns and promotions across Ruby Slipper and Ruby Sunshine locations.
- Support content creation for social media, email, and in-store marketing (photos, captions, stories, and more).
- Conduct market research on competitors, food trends, and guest insights.
- Help coordinate local store marketing efforts, including community partnerships and events.
- Track campaign performance and provide reporting/analysis to the marketing team.
- Collaborate with operations, HR, and training teams to ensure messaging is clear and consistent.
- Provide administrative support such as maintaining marketing calendars, asset libraries, and promotional materials.
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, Hospitality, or a related field.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with attention to detail.
- Familiarity with social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn).
- Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite; knowledge of Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or other design tools a plus.
- Highly organized with the ability to multitask and meet deadlines.
- Passion for food, hospitality, and bringing people together—love for brunch is a bonus!
What We Offer
- Hands-on marketing experience with a rapidly growing restaurant group.
- Opportunity to contribute creative ideas and see them brought to life.
- Mentorship and exposure to brand marketing, restaurant operations, and community engagement.
- Flexible scheduling to accommodate school commitments.
A fun, supportive team that believes in the power of biscuits, brunch, and lagniappe.
