Abstract

Small-scale café enterprises play a vital role in the local economy of Quezon City. As competition increases, accurate sales monitoring becomes essential for effective financial management and informed decision-making. This study aimed to determine the relationship between accounting integration and sales monitoring accuracy among small-scale café enterprises in Quezon City. Specifically, it assessed the level of accounting integration in terms of software usage, system connectivity, timeliness, reliability, and ease of use, as well as the level of sales monitoring accuracy in daily recording, completeness, timeliness of reports, occurrence of errors, and reliability for decision-making. The study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational research design. Fifty (50) respondents, including café owners, managers, cashiers, and bookkeeping staff, were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured survey questionnaire based on a 4-point Likert scale and analyzed using Frequency and Percentage Distribution, Weighted Mean, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation to determine the relationship between variables. Findings revealed that cafés generally demonstrated a high level of accounting integration and sales monitoring accuracy. Although minor challenges such as technical issues, data synchronization concerns, and limited staff training were identified, statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between accounting integration and sales monitoring accuracy. The results suggest that stronger integration is associated with greater financial reliability, fewer recording errors, stronger internal control, and more favorable assessments of managerial decision-making and long-term business sustainability among small-scale café enterprises.
