What is the HH Score on SAVOR?

Accepted Answer

The HH Score rates happy hours 1-5 on Value x Quality. A 5 ("Must-Visit") means exceptional deals at a top-quality venue. A 3 ("Local Favorite") means solid deals worth recommending. Scores come from deal structures, menus, and venue reputation. Not user ratings, not pay-to-rank.
