Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko 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 Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (42% of food & beverage franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko's FDD does contain are on this page.

Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose 3 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko 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 Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a food & beverage 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. Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko's latest tables show a stable franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 4.3%, against a food & beverage median of 3.3% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 23 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko?
Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko's franchise is offered by Eight USA Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), 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.
