Why Tyro’s Integrated EFTPOS Solution is the Best Fit for Restaurants

We get it. Running a restaurant is fast-paced, high pressure, and all about delivering a memorable customer experience. At the heart of this is your point of sale (POS) system – and choosing the right one can make all the difference. Tyro offers seamless, end-to-end EFTPOS solutions built for hospitality businesses. With effortless integration across 450+ POS systems, durable terminals designed for high-volume service, and built-in features that matter most to venues – like Pay@table, Split Bills 1, and Tipping 2 helps venues run smoother and serve faster. 

How Tyro’s POS-integrated EFTPOS solutions transform restaurant operations

  1. No middleware means reduced downtime.
    Tyro’s integrated EFTPOS connects directly with your POS system – no middleware, plug-ins or third-party software required. This streamlined setup removes a common frustration for businesses, when something goes wrong, there’s no need to chase multiple providers.
    In most cases, Tyro can help resolve both EFTPOS and POS-related issues directly. And if it’s a POS-specific issue, we’ll connect you with your POS provider, removing the need for third-party involvement and simplifying the support process.
  2. Tyro Connect 3: Tyro Connect is a powerful integration platform that helps restaurant owners streamline their operations by connecting their POS system with key third-party services like online ordering platforms, booking systems, and loyalty programs. It eliminates manual processes such as double-entering orders from apps like DoorDash or me&u, allowing orders to flow directly into the POS. It also enables restaurants to manage menus in one place and sync updates across platforms, reducing errors and admin time. With card-linked loyalty via Tyro Connect, customers can automatically earn rewards just by paying, no need to scan cards or check in. Once they’ve linked their payment card through an app or during a purchase, their loyalty benefits are applied seamlessly with every transaction.
    Tyro Connect 3 also supports rich sales and booking data, helping restaurants better understand customer behaviour, improve table turnover, and run more personalised marketing. Best of all, it works in the background and is easy to activate, making it an efficient way for venues to save time, reduce errors, and deliver a smoother customer experience.
