Overview
About
POKEMOTO appears to be a fast-casual restaurant or food delivery concept (likely Pokemon-themed based on brand name) where franchisees operate a retail/delivery location, manage inventory, oversee staff, and execute daily service operations. Franchisees pay 6% royalties on gross sales to the franchisor while covering all labor, rent, food costs, and local marketing.

Risk & Legal
POKEMOTO presents caution-level risk due to absence of financial performance data, franchisor going concern issues, unprotected territory, and an underdeveloped 33-unit system with unclear unit profitability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 54 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) — inability to validate return on $184.5K-$378.4K investment
- 02HIGHGoing Concern = False indicates franchisor financial instability or operational uncertainty
- 03MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk from other franchisees in same market
- 04MINOR33-unit system is very small; 92.3% YoY growth may reflect low baseline (e.g., 3 new units from 33)
- 05MINORWide investment range ($184.5K-$378.4K) suggests highly variable unit economics with no clarity on cost drivers
- 06MED6% royalty on undisclosed revenue means franchisees bear full profit risk while franchisor collects fixed percentage
