Inchin's Bamboo Garden franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Inchin's Bamboo Garden does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Inchin's Bamboo Garden — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (54% of full-service restaurant franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Inchin's Bamboo Garden's FDD does contain are on this page.

Inchin's Bamboo Garden lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Inchin's Bamboo Garden's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Inchin's Bamboo Garden closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Inchin's Bamboo Garden will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Inchin's Bamboo Garden's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a full-service restaurant of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Inchin's Bamboo Garden's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 13%, against a full-service restaurant median of 1% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 23 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Inchin's Bamboo Garden?
Inchin's Bamboo Garden's franchise is offered by Inchins Bamboo Garden Franchising LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
