This study aimed to determine the financial management practices of restobars in Bantayan Island, Cebu, particularly in the areas of cash flow management, budgeting, expense control, and inventory management.
This study employed a quantitative-descriptive research design. The research was conducted among registered restobars located across the municipalities of Batanyan, Madridejos, and Santa Fe. Thirty-seven(37) restobars were randomly selected to participate. The instrument used was a researcher-made questionnaire divided into two parts: profile and financial management practices. Responses were measured using a 4-point Likert scale. Data gathered were treated using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, ranking, and One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
The findings revealed that cash flow management (2.72) and inventory management (2/52) were moderately practiced, while budgeting (2.36) and expense control (2.44) were slightly practiced. The overall mean score of 2.51 indicated a moderate level of financial management practice. Furthermore, the results of the ANOVA showed that the P-values were higher than the 5% level of significance, indicating no significant differences in financial management practices when grouped according to their profile. Hence, the null hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, to support and improve their financial decision-making and performance, a financial management primer was proposed to assist restobar owners in enhancing their budgeting, expense control, and overall financial strategies." --Abstract
