Haferkater is a verified, established gastronomy chain in Germany with significant real-world traction (125+ employees, ~20 locations). However, as a submission for a 'technology project', it scores remarkably low on technical innovation ('Restaurants' is not a tech stack). The project demonstrates high utility and proven market fit, but the submission quality was inconsistent, combining concrete data with hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'). The final score reflects a successful business that falls outside the typical software/tech definition, heavily penalized for lack of technical novelty and poor submission effort.
