Introduction The two of the many factors that led the transition of an industry is the optimization and innovation. “Innovation is the creation of the new or the re-arranging of the old in a new way” (Vance, Michael, 2007). Innovation is creating new ideas, product or process from scratch or renovating it to create a new and upgraded version of it. Lockhart and Johnson (1996) defined optimization as “the process of finding the most effective or favorable value or condition”. Though optimization is not as grand as innovation, but it is important especially in the business sector. By aiming the idea to the customer`s needs and wants you can improve your ideas, products and processes that will better suit them. Department of Industrial Engineering Quezon City University #673 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City Background of the Study Leann`s Teahouse has been operating since 2014. It is a family owned business, run by the Chua-Park Family. Leann`s Teahouse only has a single branch located in Mother Ignicia Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City. Known for their Korean Barbecue, they offer an unlimited meat and side dishes that you can personally cook. Their most wellknown meat that makes the customers loyal to them is their special meat which they have imported from Australia, also known as Meltique. They also offer a wide variety of Korean Cuisine that you can order Ala Carte. Leann`s Teahouse is a small business that only has a limited number of employees when it started, so their way of computing salary is only by using the manual computation. Not until they garnered a couple of employees, only then they transition to using to Microsoft Excel. Since we are already in an era were technology were widely used and to make sure that the company will not get left behind, thus, this gives us, the researchers an idea to make a study on how to improve the existing way of calculation of the salary of the employees of Leann`s Teahouse. Department of Industrial Engineering Quezon City University #673 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK The business world is full of endless opportunity to make it big, or crash and burn. Small businesses crop up every day, but very few of them last to see a second anniversary, even when their basic idea was a good one. Some of the Authors, like Linda Pinson, Jerry Jinnett (2007) and Michele Cagan C.P.A (2007) they attempt to give theories on how small businesses create their financial and accounting expenses of their business. Because they are just a small business, they don’t have enough funds to adapt the new system for that. Usually, they are using the old method of it that called Bookkeeping/Recordkeeping basics. Bookkeeping is really just what it sounds like: keeping the books. That includes every facet of recordkeeping, from writing a check to recording it to marking it off when it has been cashed to making sure it was cashed for the right amount. In fact, every time money is involved—even if it has not yet changed hands—there is something to record. Bookkeeping is by far the most labor-intensive and time-consuming partof accounting. It is also one of the most important parts, because without it there would be no way to keep track of your business finances, let alone see how well your company is really doing. Many new or small-business owners let bookkeeping slide (at least initially), maybe because it does take so much of their very precious time, or maybe because they just don’t like working with numbers. Department of Industrial Engineering Quezon City University #673 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City Some books call it a Recordkeeping Basics,. the function of recordkeeping is to provide you with information that will help you to see the trends that are taking place within your operation. Some of the small business usually used this method because it is a complete and simple set of records will make it possible to tell at a glance what is happening with your business—which areas are productive and cost-effective and which will require the implementation of changes.

There are some researches studies in this chapter about the importance of being computerize of salary computation and the factors related to the topic. Foreign At the present time we have a transition that manual computation of salary is going to be computerized that you will not needed some effort to calculate. Based on the study of Abdulah, Nor Hazana and Wahab, Eta and Shamsuddin, Alina and Abdul Hamid, Nor Aziati (2013), “Acceptance of computerized payroll system”. their study says that payroll can be made faster when their manual computing system is replaced by a computerized system to make less effort to input the payroll. According to the study of Alfred, Bahati (2014) “Impact of Computerized Accounting on Performance of Payroll”. When using computerized accounting for payroll it is better because the system used is already storing data and can be seen and computed faster. for the process to be smooth and effective And from the study of Damayanti, 30400059, Susi Wagiyati P, Skom, MMSi Department of Industrial Engineering Quezon City University #673 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City KKP, Information Management, (2003), “At current developments in computer technology is increasing, technology is able to provide information so precise and accurate that no doubt”. It says that the purpose of the application they use is to speed up the processing of salaries of teachers in Jakarta and to be accurate, effective and efficient. IndraWahyudi, 10496201, Haryanto, SKom, MM KKP, Information System, (2000), “To overcome the above requires a computerized system that can facilitate the UD MekarPlastik” they want to make the process of its payroll system more easy and have an accurate paycheck computation and report. And save more time and less cost. Based on K Mahajan, S Shukla, N Soni- University of Lingaya (2015), “Hence if this process is automated, it would be of great benefit as it would require less time to calculate the salary of the employees”.in this study they introduce the importance of being automated and has an advantage to provide user to increase security and minimize the calculation errors, reason for not being able to provide the right salary. Local Nowadays in a present time this computerized application was development of the computers for the business establishment, computer center and some companies. Our country of the Philippines we can say that we can complete because of the technology from the system. Because this system was innovative to improve a new software in a company that we need to computerized a side from manual computation for the salary Department of Industrial Engineering Quezon City University #673 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City system proposed to make fast by employees to input and output that can organized all tasks of employee payment. Based on the study Aguilera, Bronzas, and Marqueses was automated payroll system of Pamana Medical Center (2010). It is a great payroll is really one of the most important issues to make pay attention in almost every company. But nowadays it is more convenient for most companies to use computerized payroll software. It is impossible to handle the payroll responsibilities that using Ledger sheet and also calculators but the schools are also not exempted in using a payroll system. This study of payroll system to establish a great relationship with their employees to providing them an appropriate benefits and the right they must enjoy it. According to the researcher Chris Woodford in March 21,2020 the last updated this computer was truly coming from the own as a great invention. It is a simple calculator that was made from a breads and wires they have a different between to an ancient abacus and to the modern computer seems vast but it is still used in some parts of the world, the calculation is more quickly than thr human brain but it is exactly the same. And from study of Aquino (2005) the computer application was very important to increasing day by day. This computer information technology for them to be able to develop a products fast and make a decision fast, the external of environment by the rapid development of innovative approaches and a lastly using information system Department of Industrial Engineering Quezon City University #673 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City confirm the company. The school was implementing an information system for their enrollment system the result for them to attract and earn an income. In 2007 Mendrez was made a similar study of vision designer. It has been identification machine to aimed and verifying a person to entering through the swiping of identification cards after that the entering there was given a code number, that you can use identification cards are swiped into the machinescard reader to trigger or identify the verification. This will help an accurate to monitoring attendances and more precise they are implementing to computerized daily, time and record by employees in Rebisco Biscuits Corporation proposed then monitor and display the time a particular employee by log in and out into the company. This are proposed by TD & S Hope Christian Academy in (2014) the student was inventory process inside the system. It is important to have a computerized system that the two students proposed system for their library system as being focuses on the checking in and checking out of the books. The all students in school who have a penalty fee and inventory process of all the books we borrow in their library. This are proposed computerized system is designed to improve their method used in a much accurate and reliable way in school. Department of Industrial Engineering Quezon City University #673 Quirino Highway, San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City Synthesis This is related to the literature and studies the proponents was made a relative to comparison of the studies and literature in an earlier section of this chapter. As conducted this proposal has based on computing salary some of it's a concept from such documents. The main proposed is a system are uses list of employee coming from the manager, yet the application capable of computation was relies on the system itself. One of these concepts it is use to the computing salary by each employee in leanns teahouse company.
