R.J. Thyne

I was one of the solo bartenders that worked both the opening AM and PM closing shifts. I was in charge of a fifteen patron bar top, a 4-7 table section and making craft cocktails for the entire establishment. I answered the phones and adhered to all cash handling protocols and followed the companies policies and standards while making it a fun and hospitable atmosphere for all the guests to the best of my abilities.

I was the solo opening bartender that was in charge of a twelve patron bar top, a six table section, doing all the prep for the opening and closing shifts for the week, cash handling procedures, making craft cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages for the entire establishment while adhering to the companies standards and procedures to the best of my ability.

At the Lyons Group I have spent five years contributing to the success of the company both on the front lines of their various establishments and behind the scenes managing accounts at their corporate office. As a manager, I ran several high-capacity Boston area bars and restaurants within the group. This work included hiring, training, scheduling, menu development, customer service and much more. As a General Ledger Accountant I kept the books for three of the company's multi-million dollar restaurants. I also worked within several restaurants as a bartender and server, social media representative for the marketing team often while managing simultaneously.

My many responsibilities during my time at Margaritas was running all areas of the restaurant(s), adhering to company financial standards to increase sales and minimize costs, promoting the development and performance of the employees in each restaurant, ensuring high quality of food preparation and service, anticipating and maintaining inventory, ordering all necessary restaurant supplies, creating a positive environment for the guests and employees alike and guaranteeing customer satisfaction at all times. I was also, selected out of all the mangers in the entire company, to open and manage new store locations.
