Purdue student startup FroYo XPress is developing an automated, self-serve frozen yogurt kiosk that will offer an all-natural, non-dairy frozen yogurt with minimal inventory and labor requirements, according to Purdue Research Foundation news.
Marek Davis and Henry Berkemeier, both in the School of Industrial Engineering, and Aarti Panda, a student in Purdue University's Department of Computer Science, co-founded FroYo XPress to improve customers' frozen yogurt experiences with a self-serve design.
