I began my love of the restaurant business as a college sophomore studying accounting at North Carolina State University.   I funded my college education by working in operations, mostly back-of-house roles, as line cook, production leader, and kitchen manager in casual dining restaurants.  I also worked as a server, bar-back, and bartender. In the years since, I have worked in QSR, fast-casual, and polished casual concepts. 

I started my journey with Double R in July of 2018 and now hold the role of Territory Manager in the Carolinas.  I initially was attracted to working for Another Broken Egg Café not only because of the unique and exciting menu but also because of the quality of life of working only days and being able to be with my family at nighttime.  After meeting the leadership team, I realized how aligned Double R was with my own personal values and principles.

It is extremely rewarding to work for Double R, a company that truly empowers its people and embodies the company’s values and principles daily.  I am excited to be an integral part of such a highly competitive team that values the contributions of each and every team member.

I have been in the hospitality business my entire life. I started working in my father’s restaurant when I was ten years old, learning at an early age that I was passionate for food, beverage and the business itself.  I continued in the restaurant industry throughout high school and college; in fall of 2012, one of my mentors gave me an opportunity to help open Another Broken Egg Cafe in the Atlanta area.  I assisted with the opening of our Alpharetta cafe, then moved on to open our Vinings location as the General Manager.  I was given the offer to serve as an area support manager and am now serving as the Territory Manager of the Atlanta market. As TM, I oversee and assist in the operation for our ABE locations in Atlanta, focused on the growth and development of our brand and people.

Working for Double R has been a challenging and rewarding experience. Having the evenings to spend with family has improved my quality of life, which is extremely hard to find in the restaurant business. I am blessed to work with an amazing team of operators, that strive to give every guest a first class dining experience, everyday. I am passionate about driving my team to give great results.

My hospitality career started early. I have been in the industry for most of my adult life and find it to be both exciting and rewarding. The fact that I was given the opportunity to start my career with Double R Restaurant Group as a General Manager of our first Another Broken Egg Cafe South Florida location, on the island of Siesta Key Beach, has been a life changing experience. I have been fortunate to work with a great team in Siesta Key, and that commitment from that team has allowed me to grow to my current role. That team continues to be committed to excellent operations and building the brand.  As we continued to grow our team and consistently deliver results in Siesta Key, we became a Certified Training Store.  I am privileged to have trained and built relationships with many of our managers through the training program.   With the growth of Double R,  I was recognized for my hard work and dedication, becoming a District Manager and, most recently, a Territory Manager of West Florida.  

I originally sought to work at Another Broken Egg Cafe for the quality of life and found much more with Double R. The hours of operation for ABE allow me to be with my son every night for dinner and bedtime.  I have found a true work/life balance and, for that, I am forever grateful!  My passion for Double R extends to our commitment to exceptional service, quality food and the growth of our people.  No day is ever the same in the restaurant business, but through hard work and dedication Double R does offer a path to success. I am so thrilled to be a part of an amazing company!

I was fortunate to start working for the Double R Restaurant Group in 2011 when we opened our first Another Broken Egg Café in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I began as a server and bartender, and realized after my first week that I wanted to grow with this company.  With my passion for Double R, I quickly rose through the ranks: becoming the General Manager of our flagship store in Baton Rouge, a Support Manager, then Territory Manager of the Baton Rouge market.  My next adventure with Double R Restaurant Group is in Texas where we have a strong growth plan to open Another Broken Egg Cafés in Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin.

Since, I was 16 years old, I knew I wanted a career in the restaurant industry.  I am so happy that I get to work in hospitality; I get the chance to impact another person’s day through great food, amazing guest experience, and our extreme attention to details.  With Double R’s commitment to internal development, I enjoy watching my peers and protégés continue in their management, hospitality and culinary career. This company is "egg-cellent”!!

After close to 20 years with another restaurant group, rising through the ranks of hourly and management positions, I decided it was a time for a change. When I began talking with Double R Restaurant Group, I saw an opportunity to join a young company that believes wholeheartedly in their people. Working in Double R for a year, my initial impression was true: we take care of our people. While Double R is a profit driven company, we believe that in taking care of our people our people will take care of us.

As Territory Manager of Louisiana, I oversee multiple concepts within Double R: Another Broken Egg Café, Romacelli Bistro e Vino, and Pour.  It is incredibly rewarding to empower our people to effectively operate their restaurants, encouraging them to deliver superior service and food every day. I support my team with proper training and development, and a focus of always putting our people—both customer or employee—first. 

There is no better feeling in the world then knowing you have made someone’s day a little better. I believe that if we truly care about our guests, making them and our people the most important thing, we will always succeed.  It is my daily goal that any guest or team member that I interact with leaves happier then when they walked in the door.

Welcome to Double R! My name is Andrea LaCour and as the Marketing Coordinator and Guest Experience Leader I have the privilege of developing and communicating all marketing efforts while instilling a fun and relaxed culture that is rooted in guest centered service and true appreciation of the talents of every team member. Being a southern gal myself whose best memories have always involved great food and company, I am constantly inspired by the lasting impact that a delicious meal coupled with genuine hospitality can have on our guest’s lives. This passion to truly connect and make memorable moments pushes me to discover ways that we can continue to go above and beyond for all who work for us and visit our Cafes! 

My journey with Double R Restaurant Group began somewhat unceremoniously. At a friend’s wedding, a long time investor in another restaurant concept mentioned he was looking for someone to help launch a new franchise.  I was extremely interested in the opportunity, and so my path with Another Broken Egg began. Hired as a General Manager, I quickly found a love for both ABE and Double R.  My career path has allowed me to become Territory Manager of North Carolina, then Director of Training/New Store Openings.  I recently transitioned to Director of People across each of our concepts.

While I have always loved the restaurant industry, it is in my new job that I have truly found my passion.  I am privileged to work directly with our people: developing our managers and hourly team; interacting with our future internal and external management candidates; and building the foundational systems for our future growth.  Our people are among the best in the business, striving to be better today than yesterday, and are truly my motivation every day.

Starting in the restaurant industry from my teens, I have worked almost every position--from a busser to manager and manager to managing partner, my experience has led me to a rewarding career in hospitality. Originally inspired by the culinary side of the business, I continued to develop a passion for the industry by leading and supporting teams with a strong focus on hospitality. 

After 20 years and working in several successful concepts, I found myself taking a position with Double R Restaurant Group as the Territory Manager for East Coast Florida where I opened Another Broken Egg Café in Boca Raton. From there I transitioned to the Georgia/Tennessee territory, opening several restaurants while successfully growing sales and profits. 

In the spring of 2016, I transitioned to Director of Operations for Double R Restaurant Group’s Another Broken Egg division. The position has allowed me to share my passion and knowledge with outstanding individuals within the Double R organization.  I currently oversee all operational and financial results, with an emphasis on accountability and respect.   My management style aligns with the Double R culture where people and results come first. 

One day a few years ago, I became acquainted with the President of Double R Restaurant Group through a mutual friend.  At the time, I was working in a bank as a Financial Reporting Manager; I was very intrigued with the restaurant industry and the financial leadership needed by a young company.   The genuine way in which Stuart spoke of his team compelled me to take a leap of faith and I joined on; I am so glad that I did.  Food and customer service is way more exciting than interest rates!

I am responsible for all aspects of accounting, budgeting, cash management, and financial analysis for our many restaurant locations.  My team works tirelessly to ensure payables, payroll, and financial statements are delivered accurately and in a timely fashion.  The best part of my day is hearing stories about how we made a customer’s day; the stories give each dollar a name.

I have had the privilege of being involved with Double R from its inception in 2010.  As President of Double R, I have the honor to work side by side with some of the most interesting and passionate people I have ever come across in my career.  At Double R, our people are our most coveted assets and truly define what our culture is all about.  We manage our day to day business by focusing on the development of our people and empowering them to do what is right for their staff and ultimately the customer.

My duties include management of all operational and financial functions between our three brands: Another Broken Egg Café, Romacelli Bistro e Vino and POUR Restaurant and Bar.  I am most passionate about being able to work for a company that puts its employees first.   I am inspired by the hard work and dedication of each and every one of our employees who serve our customers daily.  I enjoy seeing members of our team develop professionally and move up in the ranks and become integral part of our organization.  At the end of the day, we are only as good as our people.
