snoop1130 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 An owner of the Japanese restaurant franchise “Daruma”, Ekaphop Leungprasert, yesterday, June 21st, filed charges against the restaurant owner, or franchisor, for fraud after the company failed to provide food ingredients to the branch, causing huge damage. Two branch owners also presented themselves at the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), claiming that they were also victims. One of them claimed that they paid a contract of more than 2.5 million baht two months ago but were unable to open a branch until now. Another said that they paid a franchise expense of 2 million baht but could only open the restaurant for 2 months because no ingredients were delivered which was part of the contract. One of the victims, only named to the press as Noon, said that she was a loyal customer before deciding to start a business with Daruma in the Sai Mai area. The beginning of the business went well until the past month when salmon and other ingredients started to be sent out slowly and sometimes did not deliver at all. The Daruma owner reportedly became unreachable as well. One day before the incident, the restaurant also started a 199-baht buffet campaign because she already received coupons to sell to customers and the franchisor confirmed that the promotion could proceed even though the salmon price was rising. There was no sign that there would be a problem.
