Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Maresto appears to be a legitimate but early-stage Point of Sale (POS) and business management solution for the Indonesian HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant, Café) sector, evidenced by a functioning website (maresto.id) and Play Store apps. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies and hyperbole, claiming 'everyone' as the audience and that 'most people' have used the product, while external data indicates a client base of approximately 50 businesses. The claim of a 1999 launch date contradicts the modern app history (updated ~2022) and likely refers to a different entity or is erroneous. The score is penalized heavily for the low quality of the submission and false traction claims, despite the existence of a real underlying product.
