Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Minitable is a verified, functional SaaS platform serving the restaurant industry, specifically targeting Asian dining establishments with waitlist and reservation management. External search confirms significant traction (~250k monthly website visits, 1k+ App Store ratings, active updates). However, the project submission quality is abysmal, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), nonsense data ('all time marketcap: null'), and missing metrics. While the underlying business is viable and has 'Small but promising' traction comparable to the lower end of established brands, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission.
