  • Mexican content creator Luisito Comunica is facing controversy over alleged failure to distribute profits to restaurant workers.
  • A former employee claimed the company cited no profits for distribution despite expansion.
  • Comunica stated that partners, including himself, personally contributed 400,000 pesos to compensate employees, though this was separate from company profits.

Mexican content creator Luisito Comunica is embroiled in a controversy regarding the alleged non-distribution of profits to employees of his restaurants. The dispute surfaced when a purported employee of one of the businesses linked to the influencer claimed that the company had issued a statement indicating no profits were generated for distribution, despite the chain's growth in 2025.

The establishments in question, "Deigo Ramen" and "Deigo Sushi," involve Luis Villar (Comunica) as a partner alongside Oscar Meza, Lalo Villar, Ari Tenorio, and Yoshitake Yanagl Casillas, who leads the company. The employee found the company's explanation inconsistent, particularly given recent expansion projects involving new branches and production centers.

Further administrative issues were highlighted, including alleged changes in the company's legal name, discrepancies in salary registrations with the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), and unjustified deductions from employee tips. Amidst these claims, Comunica addressed the situation on Instagram.

He explained that despite the company's official stance on not distributing profits this year, the partners made a collective effort to provide an additional payment of 2,000 pesos to each employee. Comunica clarified that this personal contribution of 400,000 pesos came from the partners, not from the company's generated profits. He attributed the lack of company profits to administrative decisions such as loans, interest payments, reinvestments, and the current business plan.

This is not from the company, this is part from the partners and the other part only from Luisito.
