What 1920 Enterprises, Inc does

1920 Enterprises, Inc. operates Broussard's Restaurant & Courtyard, a historic French-Creole fine dining establishment and event venue at 819 Conti Street in the New Orleans French Quarter. Founded in 1920 by Joseph Broussard, a Louisiana Creole with Parisian culinary training, and his wife Rosalie Borrello, the restaurant operates from Rosalie's childhood home on a parcel with land history dating to the 1820s. Following ownership transitions including the Marcello/Segreto families (1974), the Preuss family (1984-2013), and most recently the Ammari Brothers (2013), the restaurant now operates under Creole Cuisine Restaurant Concepts.

The business runs a multi-format dining operation consisting of Jazz Brunch (Friday-Sunday, with live entertainment and bottomless mimosas), dinner service (seven days), the Empire Bar with a decade-themed cocktail program, and Happy Hour. Entrees are priced $28.50-$48 at dinner and $20-$32 at brunch. Event services are a substantial revenue pillar, with four in-house event spaces (Napoleon 110 seat/150 reception, Magnolia 60/50, Josephine 40/30, and the historic Courtyard) and a partnership with the adjacent Hermann-Grima Museum enabling combined bookings up to 650 guests. The Special Events Team handles approximately 90-100 corporate events annually plus weddings and private parties, with quote-based pricing tied to menu selection and guest count.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, reliant on walk-in and reservation traffic (online and phone), supplemented by inbound corporate and wedding bookings, gift card e-commerce, and a Wisely-powered loyalty/email program. Marketing is concentrated on owned social channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) and third-party review platforms (Yelp, TripAdvisor, OpenTable). Revenue is generated through per-transaction food and beverage sales, event quote-based pricing, and gift card sales. Credentials include the DiRoNa Award (1998), Ivy Award (2000), Nation's Restaurant News Fine Dining Hall of Fame (2001), Wine Spectator Award of Excellence (2000, 2015, 2024), and 10 consecutive Top Workplaces recognitions (2015-2025).
