To protect and enhance our indoor air quality and to contribute to the health and well-being of all employees and customers, Unique Restaurants shall be entirely smoke free effective immediately. Additionally, the use of all tobacco products, including chewing tobacco, is banned from all restaurant premises.

Every business depends on communication to deliver product and service. Business communication plays an important role managing day-to-day activities at work. Business communications technology is advancing each day with new products changing the way people communicate. Two forms of communication are verbal or nonverbal. Verbal communication is letters, phones conversation, text messaging, e-mails, and Web-sites. Nonverbal communication is the use of pictures or the delivery of interpersonal nonverbal signs of representation. An important factor of communication is to understand and know the audience and their needs. Goodwill plays an important role in the success of a company. How companies treat their customers and employees will increase sales and productivity (Locke & Kienzler, "1," 2008). The day-to-day communication starts when employees come to work and punch the time-clock letting employers know that positions are occupied to perform the work. Some employees attend verbal meeting with co- workers or with team members to discuss the agenda for the day. These internal audiences, for example management and employees, communicate by oral, nonverbal, and written communication. External audiences are customers, suppliers, employment agencies, and investors who communicate in the same form but mainly for promotions, and sales. Success depends on...
