What Daiohs does
Daiohs Corporation (株式会社ダイオーズ) is a Japanese office services group founded in 1969 by Shinichi Ohkubo, headquartered in Tokyo's Marunouchi district. The company provides a bundled portfolio of recurring B2B services to corporate offices, spanning coffee service (with machine brands including FRANKE, MIONE nouveau, and Smart X), water service (Aube, Pompage, and Pure Water delivery), tea service (the proprietary TEATRO multi-function beverage machine with a patented bottom-water-supply mechanism), green plant rental, regular cleaning under the licensed Coverall franchise system, clean care (floor mats, mops, air purification), air conditioner rental (AirALL), and employee welfare/pantry services. Production is anchored in three in-house manufacturing facilities — the Yachiyo Coffee Roasting Factory (ISO 9001:2015), Keihin-jima Pure Water Factory (ISO 22000:2018), and Fukushima facility for cleaning mats/mops — and the company holds FSSC 22000 certification at its Urayasu PW Factory.
Revenue is generated primarily through subscription/Rental contracts with monthly recurring fees (e.g., Purest water purifiers from 3,500-4,500 yen/month on three-year terms) plus licensing royalties and initial fees from the Coverall franchise network (300+ active owners paying 1.8M yen plus sales-course fees of 600K-1.8M yen). Distribution runs through 70+ OCS franchise locations and eight showrooms across Japan, with wholly-owned subsidiaries operating in the US (Daiohs First Choice, Blue Tiger), Canada (Planet Coffee), Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with scheduled regular visits, supplemented by the franchise ecosystem. Customer segments are primarily business offices and commercial facilities, with secondary support for franchise owners who operate as micro-entrepreneurs averaging 780,000 yen/month in sales. Headcount stands at 1,674 consolidated FTE as of March 2023, with 972 employees in the Daiohs Japan Corporation parent. The company historically listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section in 2007; current public/private status is ambiguous in the most recent sources.
