Time To Go Cash Free? #justtappit
With the bass beat thumping and dance floor jumping, you fumble through the crowd and your pockets as you head toward the bar for your next beer, only to find your wallet’s gone walkabout along with your cash! What should you do? Just tappit of course!
A relative newcomer to the Bali scene, cashless experience experts, tappit bring a wealth of expertise to the island with their radio frequency identification (RFID) technology that allows customers and venues to enjoy a cash, stress and worry free event. A simple and streamlined system, as customers arrive at a party, game or event they merely make their way to a tappit cashier booth to load up a wrist band or card with a monetary amount of their choosing, facilitating cash free purchases of F&B and more throughout the evening. No more worries about where to hide your wallet or missing out on the party as you wait at the bar for change!
Debuting in Bali at Bestival in 2017, more than 8000 partygoers went cashless for the entire festival. No strangers to major events such as these, tappit has delivered the cashless experience to various international venues and events the likes of the Dubai Rugby 7s, Creamfields Hong Kong, Old Boys Rugby 10’s in J-Burg and the Bury Football Club in the UK, with whom they recently secured a three year contract!
Hot off the success of last month’s Rumours Party with Guy Gerber at Ulu Cliffhouse, this cash free movement is also making headway into the local island party scene with three major events in May alone! Earlier this month saw tappit facilitate cash free fun at the recent Cinco de Mayo Reggaeton party at Motel Mexicola, they returned to Ulu Cliffhouse on May 19th for the much anticipated evening with DJ giant Carl Cox, then they plan to take it surf side to Kommune Resort at Keramis Beach from May 27th with Kelly Slater and the World Surf League Corona Bali Pro!
Talk about versatility! tappit’s technology can be adapted to virtually any event, club, sporting pro or party to save on time, tedium and human resources, allowing guests and venue operators to keep a close track of their finances throughout an event. No need for customers to carry all of their cash with them while they hit the dance floor, or for venues to face the constant headache of filling change floats for their bars. Resorts and clubs can also streamline booking confirmations, tickets, admission passes, room key cards, bar tabs and bills with one item only – the tappit wristband or card.
Eco friendly, time saving, worry and wait free, Bali businesses now have even more of a reason to ensure their customers’ experience is an enjoyable one and join the cash free revolution. Simplify the situation with tappit! For more information about tappit check out their website: www.justtappit.com or contact Maria Miranda: maria.miranda@justtappit.com or +62 878 625 44 695
Cockroach Or Cane Toad? Origin Is On Again!
QUEEEENSLANDERRR!! Ok, Ok…. despite unveiling my allegiance to the Sunshine State and uncovering an upbringing as a ‘Cane Toad’, truth be told, I am getting a touch of Origin Fever with one of the year’s most watched football series about to commence again in June! And I can watch it all here in Bali, live, on screen, ….. at Finns! Excited much???
Whether you hail from the West Coast or Australia’s deep dark South, where the mere mention of Rugby League can be met with a casual shrug, there is no denying that the annual NRL State of Origin series is an exciting one. Oh come on all you AFL diehards…….. we know you watch it too!
Regular season fixtures aside, this yearly, three match, footy
grudge fest attracts some of the biggest crowds of any football competition.
The series has become somewhat of an institution since the 80’s with this high profile battle between NSW and QLD for football supremacy developing into one of the country’s most prestigious sporting events. Stadiums are a sell out long before the first fan forces their way through the turnstile and televisions across the country are tuned to this on field battle, making Origin the most watched football in Australia.
Being a Bali resident, there’s little to no chance of me ever getting a guernsey to attend a live Origin game, but that doesn’t mean I can’t show my colours and support for my home side from afar and that’s just what I’ll be doing come June 6th at Finns Rec Club!
Committed to covering all of the Origin games in 2018, Finns is first choice for footy fans with over thirty television screens to ensure everyone can see the action. Set up your support crew outside at Bistro C to see the on field battle unfold on the big screen, or pull up a pew at the Sports Bar and be close to cold beer on tap in air conditioned comfort.
The Sports Bar will be once again a blur of maroon and blue with supporters showing their state allegiance by the colour of their clothes, hair and occasionally their faces! Whether you have no affiliation or affection for New South Wales or Queensland whatsoever, or any clue as to what a cane toad or a cockroach has to do with football, (don’t worry, it’s an East Coast thing..) the State of Origin is up there with the best games of footy you’re likely to watch.
Join the crowd at The Sports Bar @ Finns Rec Club from 5pm, Wednesday June 6th for fun, a fair amount of good natured heckling and the first game of origin football for 2018 live from the MCG in Melbourne. Get there early to be sure of a bar stool and bring your enthusiasm for a great night out. The second game is scheduled for June 24th with the decider on July 11th.
Will it be another Queensland whitewash? Or will the New South Welshmen make a comeback? The best way to find out is to watch it with us at Finns! Check out the ‘What’s On’ segment on the their website to find out more about the 2018 State of Origin schedule: www.finnsrecclub.com
