Tyro’s Big Buyout
@ Up South Bondi

Volk’s first hit-out! We sent the Aussie legend to local favourite and Insta sensation, Up South Bondi, where he dropped thousands of dollars on baked goods, matchas and sweets, to share with locals.

Up South Bondi has been a much-loved Tyro customer for 5 years, and thanks to using the Tyro Pro EFTPOS machine, thousands of their customers have been able to tap and pay for their favourite goodies.

We dropped in to surprise Up South Bondi business owner Cherry and her customers as a way to say thank you. Check out the full video to see how it all played out.

Tyro’s Big Buyout
@ Hotel Ravesis

Armed with $20k to spend on food, drinks and giveaways, our “Chief Tap Out Officer”, Volk, and his trusty sidekick Nicka went down to Hotel Ravesis to throw the ultimate end of summer bash.

Volk was joined by Lucy Washington (who has collaborated with Peking Duk) and DJ Mad Day to put on some fresh tunes at the event. Watch the event video to see how it went down. (Spoiler alert: it was epic).

Hotel Ravesis has been another valued Tyro customer for 6 years, and this buyout is our way of saying thank you to their team and customers.
