Sogurt, the homegrown self-served yogurt chain that's devoted to spoiling the customers. The customers rule! They take charge of the nitty gritty that goes into their cup. From the number of flavours (up to 6/8) they want, to the amount of yogurt dispensed into their cup, to the types of topping they want to pile onto their yogurt and right down to how it want their swirls to look! Sogurt is so much fun because customers can have it all and have it their way at the same time!
How it work:
1) Take a cup
2) Dispense the yogurt
3) Add your topping
4) Weigh your cup
5) Pay by weigh
