Plasma POS appears to be a legitimate, early-stage restaurant technology startup based in Brooklyn (est. 2023), offering a hardware-agnostic point-of-sale system. However, the submission is critically flawed, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'performing arts' technology) and confusing metrics ('marketcap' likely referring to revenue or funding). While the project has a functional product on the App Store and a team of ~30, the gross exaggeration of reach and poor data quality significantly lower the Proof of Usefulness score.
