Tyro Hospitality Payments review
Unified EFTPOS and online payments for Australian restaurants and venues.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tyro Hospitality Payments provides EFTPOS and online payment processing for Australian cafés, restaurants, bars and other hospitality venues. It is suited to individual venues and multi-location operators that want card-present payments, tableside checkout, split bills, tipping, QR ordering, online checkout and kiosk payments in one offering. The service is available through web, iOS, Android and API access, with integrations for POS and reservation systems.
Pricing is organized around four paid plans. Tyro Pro Lite charges a 1.3% transaction fee and includes POS integration or standalone payments, a portable terminal, Wi-Fi with mobile network backup and real-time reporting. Tyro Pro Touch and Tyro Pro Key also charge 1.3%; both support POS integration or standalone payments, portable terminals, Pay@Table and split payments, while Pro Touch adds a 6-inch HD touchscreen and Pro Key uses a 4-inch touchscreen with tactile keypad. Tyro BYO charges 1.3% and accepts payments through an iPhone or Android device, with no monthly terminal rental, setup or hardware fees, plus digital receipts and real-time reporting. Businesses processing more than $20,000 per month can receive custom pricing.
The main strength is breadth across restaurant payment workflows: card-present EFTPOS, mobile acceptance, online ordering, payment links, self-service kiosks, reporting and unified settlements are covered. Integrations include SevenRooms, Ritual, Hubster and POS/PMS systems, while Tap & Save provides least-cost routing. Restaurants that need Pay@Table, split payments or tipping have relevant functionality in the terminal plans. Tyro is less suitable for businesses seeking a free option or pricing below the standard 1.3% transaction rate. It is also focused on Australian hospitality, so venues outside that market should choose a provider built for their operating region.
