Risk & Legal
Yummi Go Gourmet presents extreme risk due to active multi-state franchise law litigation, going concern accounting status, zero financial transparency, and predatory franchise terms designed to extract value while minimizing franchisor accountability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 82 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHMultiple active litigation cases across three states (MD, WA, CA) for franchise law violations including selling unregistered franchises and failing to provide required disclosure documents
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is False, indicating material doubts about the franchisor's ability to continue operations
- 03MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed despite 397 units operating, preventing informed ROI analysis
- 04MINORExtremely wide and opaque royalty structure (5-25% of weekly gross sales) with no clarity on how rates are determined or justified
- 05MINOROne-year franchise term is unusually short and provides minimal security or recoupment period for $26k-$279k investment range
- 06MINORNo protected territory despite significant investment, exposing franchisees to direct competition from other system units
- 07MINORConsent orders requiring refunds to franchisees suggest previous investors have already experienced material losses
- 08HIGH69.3% YoY unit growth appears artificially inflated given litigation and going concern issues—suggests aggressive recruitment masking underlying problems
