You're In Business

The submission appears to be a low-effort or test entry for a traditional hospitality business rather than a technology project. The claims made (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') are factually incorrect and exaggerated. There is no evidence of technical innovation, and the domain lacks a significant digital footprint to verify the claimed team size or market capitalization. The project lacks verifiable traction or valid metrics.
