License board approves assistant manager at Margarita's, tables Sweetgreen application and approves minutes
Summary
At its April 7 meeting the Board of License Commissioners approved a change of assistant manager for Margarita's Restaurant, tabled a Sweetgreen common victualler application to the next meeting, approved March 31 minutes, and adjourned by unanimous votes.
The Board of License Commissioners approved several routine licensing items Monday during its April 7 meeting.
The board approved a change of assistant manager on Margarita's liquor license at 725 (address reported in record) to add Thomas J. Hanley as assistant manager. The motion passed by roll call, 5-0, after commissioners asked Hanley about his prior experience and violations history; Hanley said he had served on liquor licenses at two other locations and reported no violations.
The board also voted to table a new common victualler application for Sweetgreen Boston LLC at 1 Worcester Road, Unit 524, to the next meeting after the applicant said the representative was traveling and could not appear. The board said the postponement would cause no prejudice to the application.
Separately, the board approved its open-session meeting minutes from March 31, 2025, and later voted to adjourn. All of the listed actions passed unanimously by roll call.
Why it matters: routine personnel and procedural licensing matters keep restaurant operations legal and on record, while tabling an application preserves applicants' procedural rights when their representatives cannot attend.
Actions and votes at a glance: - Margarita's Restaurant Group (OJuan Margarita's Restaurant), 725 (address reported): approved change of assistant manager to Thomas J. Hanley; motion moved by Commissioner Laura Medrano and seconded; roll call vote 5-0. - Sweetgreen Boston LLC (1 Worcester Road, Unit 524): motion to table application to next meeting; seconded and approved 5-0. - Open-session meeting minutes (03/31/2025): approved by roll call, 5-0. - Motion to adjourn: approved by roll call, 5-0.
Speakers who spoke on these items included Tom Hanley (proposed assistant manager), Audra Shaw (licensing coordinator), and the five commissioners and chair. The board closed the meeting following the unanimous adjournment vote.
