Café Operations Manager, Lisa Hasney, has been with the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group for five years. Lisa's venture into the hospitality industry began in 2014 when she accepted a position to co-chair a gala at her daughter's school. Looking for guidance, Lisa reached out to her Aunt Marie who owned Marie’s Fleur De Lis Catering. Marie Hasney worked with well-known Chef Paul Prudhomme and started his offsite catering department. Holding fond memories of being around the kitchen with her brother and cousins, Lisa knew she could rely on her aunt's long history in the culinary industry.
Lisa began working at Marie's Fleur De Lis Catering, and she credits Marie with providing her with culinary knowledge. During her five-year tenue, Lisa worked on an array of events, from high end intimate events to 5000-person corporate events.
With an extensive skillset, Lisa joined the RBRG family in the spring of 2019 in Operations with Ralph Brennan Cater & Events. Thereafter, she moved to Red Fish Grill as the Sales Assistant while also managing operations for all offsite catering events. Since 2021, Lisa has been a key member of the Ralph Brennan Bakery king cakes operation. Lisa's adaptable nature and willingness to step in when needed has brought her success.
Looking back fondly on her professional experience, Lisa is most proud of her operations work on a 600-person seated dinner at Mardi Gras World, the Grand Opening of Sazerac House, and collaborating with NOMA for the Odyssey Balls.
Lisa is the proud, loving mother of Ann Marie and Kaylee. When you don’t see Lisa at Café NOMA, you will find her at her home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
