Background of the Study
The adoption of technology in the restaurant industry has transformed how businesses manage their operations, particularly in financial management. Accounting software has emerged as a critical tool for improving efficiency, accuracy, and profitability. Quick service restaurants (QSRs) in Abuja, characterized by high customer turnover and rapid transactions, rely on robust accounting systems to maintain financial control (Abubakar & Chukwu, 2023).
Accounting software enables restaurants to automate processes such as invoicing, inventory management, and financial reporting, reducing errors and saving time. However, the level of adoption and its impact on profitability vary widely among QSRs in Abuja. This study examines the role of accounting software in enhancing profitability, focusing on its implementation, benefits, and challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the proven benefits of accounting software, many QSRs in Abuja struggle with its adoption due to high costs, lack of technical expertise, and resistance to change. These challenges hinder their ability to achieve operational efficiency and profitability.
Limited research has been conducted to assess the specific impact of accounting software on the profitability of QSRs in Abuja. Without this knowledge, restaurant owners may fail to maximize the potential benefits of these tools. This study aims to bridge this gap by analyzing the role of accounting software in enhancing profitability.
Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the adoption of accounting software among QSRs in Abuja.
2. To evaluate the impact of accounting software on operational efficiency and profitability.
3. To identify challenges and propose solutions for effective implementation of accounting software.
Research Questions
1. How widely is accounting software adopted among QSRs in Abuja?
2. What is the impact of accounting software on operational efficiency and profitability?
3. What challenges hinder the effective implementation of accounting software, and how can they be addressed?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: Accounting software adoption does not significantly enhance profitability in QSRs in Abuja.
2. H₀: The use of accounting software does not significantly improve operational efficiency.
3. H₀: Addressing implementation challenges does not significantly enhance the effectiveness of accounting software.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on QSRs in Abuja, analyzing the adoption and impact of accounting software on profitability. Limitations include limited access to proprietary software data and variability in software usage levels.
