Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'Arryved' is a verified, Series B funded Point-of-Sale (POS) system for the craft beverage industry with significant traction ($20M+ funding, ~75-100 employees). However, the submission itself contained severe quality issues (claiming 'space-technology', 'everyone' as audience, and naming the project 'StarShade'). While the business fundamentals place it in the 'Much larger scale' category (typically 400-700 points), the 'Proof' score is heavily penalized by the Quality Factor (0.5x) due to the hyperbolic and unsupported claims in the submission text. The final score reflects a strong underlying business weighed down by a failure to provide adequate evidence in the application.

Description
Arryved is a POS that is not a #$@POS#$@.\n\nArryved point-of-sale is built side-by-side with leaders in the hospitality space who are innovating the model of service. Instead of shoehorning in a solution, we developed one entirely in-house that matches their nimbleness. Other hospitality businesses are racing to replicate.\n\nArryved has intuitive interfaces where every operation is two steps away. It grows and scales with businesses, regardless of their size and offerings. Build the right product, win the hearts of your clients, and a POS can actually become viral.\n\nThe perfect example of award winning service that Arryved powers is the focus on relationships between guests and staff. The order is being delivered to the table while the staff is building brand loyalty. The guest leaves and raves about the establishment to all of their friends.
