Bottom line
- Total investment $274K – $581K including a $35K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Overview
About
Junbi appears to be a specialized food service or prepared meal concept (likely meal prep, sushi, or Japanese cuisine based on the name meaning 'preparation'). Franchisees likely manage day-to-day operations including food preparation, inventory management, customer service, and adherence to franchisor standards in a small-footprint retail or ghost kitchen model.

Risk & Legal
Junbi presents meaningful caution-level risk due to absence of financial performance data, questionable franchisor going concern status, and micro-scale system size that limits validation of franchisee profitability claims.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 financial disclosure (average unit revenue and net income not disclosed) — impossible to assess profitability or ROI
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, indicating potential financial distress or operational uncertainty at franchisor level
- 03MEDOnly 8 units system-wide with modest 20% YoY growth — extremely small, early-stage system with limited track record
- 04MINORHigh initial investment range ($273.75K–$581.25K) relative to system maturity and revenue transparency
- 05HIGHNo litigation disclosed, but lack of financial data makes it difficult to validate franchisor stability and franchisee success
