Monica’s Trattoria has a new manager, and its attorney believes the North End restaurant will reopen this weekend after it shuttered last week while its former leader is being held without bail on attempted murder charges.

The Boston Licensing Board on Wednesday unanimously approved a petition to change the manager of Monica’s from Patrick Mendoza to Amanda McQueen, a six-year employee of the popular Italian eatery.

“We are hoping to be serving food this weekend,” attorney William Ferullo told the Licensing Board during a quick hearing and meeting in which no members from the public offered testimony.

McQueen, a resident of Danvers, said she started at Monica’s in 2017 on the administrative side before becoming a server, floor manager and most recently, an operations manager.

In her operations manager role, McQueen said she was at the restaurant for about 40 to 50 hours a week, overseeing 31 employees while also being responsible for interviewing, hiring and training new employees, conducting payroll, creating schedules and keeping track of inventories.

“I have a great relationship with all of our vendors, all of the liquor and beer companies as well as the food companies,” she told the board.

Mendoza is accused of shooting at a man in front of Modern Pastry last month and is being held without bail after a Boston judge ruled the longtime restaurateur dangerous during a detention hearing last week.

Documents with the Secretary of State’s Office now list Elise, Matthew, and Frank Mendoza as President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively, of the restaurant.

Patrick Mendoza still had been listed as the person who the board could contact at all times of the day as of Wednesday’s meeting. The number has to be updated, along with  other paperwork completed, before the restaurant can reopen.

“That number has to be someone we can get in touch with 24 hours a day in case something happens in the neighborhood, in the restaurant,” Board Chairwoman Kathleen Joyce said.
