these skill sets in order to have sustainable business. Next I interviewed a restaurant owner, who
stressed the importance of non-verbal messages when reacting and communicating with
employees, vendors and customers and stated that a successful restaurant can be credited to a
well-practiced chain of communication between employees. Lastly I conducted an interview with
a waitress, who mentioned that reading body language is one of the most important skills needed
in order to success. Recognizing the type of customer or audience one is serving is extremely
important and can make a worlds difference in how the service is perceived.
Through this project, I presented my research as a guide to the dos and dontss one must
be aware when planning to open a restaurant. I also strived to write an accessible, visually
appealing and efficient guide, while avoiding technical terms that the reader might not
understand. Before completing the guide, we wrote memos which included updates regarding our
primary field work. This process helped with accountability and served as an aid to achieve my
set goals, and meeting deadlines. It also served as way to assure I was on the right track,
fulfilling all the required objectives. Some changes I made between drafts included breaking up
sections which seemed too dense into subsections and adding more white space in order to
accomplish a more visually approachable document. A way I couldve made my revision process
more effective would have been to visit the writing center for more suggestions and revising, as
well as asking my peers to look over my work. Overall through this project, I attained a better
understanding on how the social context surrounding entrepreneurs shape their communication
conventions. Through the primary research conducted, I was able to observe the different genres
presented in this specific discourse community.
