Running a café or coffee shop in Aberdeen
Café trading in Old Aberdeen has a university setting: the University of Aberdeen was founded as King's College and remains a defining presence there. Seaton Park sits on the edge of the grounds of St Machar's Cathedral, adding another reason for people to spend time in the area. A café's day can therefore span study breaks, residents meeting over coffee and walkers stopping indoors, with Aberdeen's cool summers and rainy winters shaping visits.
Those visits range from a coffee and an Aberdeen buttery to a group sitting down together or someone arranging an order before collecting it. Teya Pro suits a counter needing contactless, chip and PIN, mobile wallet payments and printed receipts. Teya Lite provides a smaller, pocket-sized option for taking payment beside a table, with digital receipts. For advance orders placed by phone, Pay by Link lets the café send a payment request.
Coffee between university commitments
A café in Old Aberdeen may serve students fitting coffee around their university day, with some taking a buttery away and others staying to study. Teya Pro accepts contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay alongside chip and PIN. Staff can offer a printed receipt from the same machine when one is needed.
A stop after Seaton Park
Walkers coming from Seaton Park may choose a table and settle in rather than order solely for takeaway. When they ask to pay, staff can bring Teya Lite over instead of asking them to return to the counter. The pocket-sized machine has Wi-Fi and 4G, and uses digital receipts.
Butteries ordered before collection
A customer phones an Old Aberdeen café to arrange a collection of coffees and Aberdeen butteries for a gathering. If payment is required in advance, staff can send a Pay by Link request by text or email. The café can then see the payment transaction in the Teya app or portal.

Questions from Aberdeen cafés & coffee shops
Which machine suits a small café counter in Old Aberdeen?
Teya Lite is the smaller, pocket-sized option and provides digital receipts without a printer. If your Old Aberdeen café needs paper receipts at the counter, Teya Pro has a built-in printer and accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Can our café take payment for phone orders before collection?
Yes. Pay by Link lets you send a payment link by text or email for a phone order. That suits an Aberdeen café arranging coffees and butteries for collection, without asking the customer to come in simply to make the payment.

Yes. We quote for cafés & coffee shops anywhere in Aberdeen, including Union Street, Rosemount and Footdee, and across Scotland. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a café or coffee shop near Aberdeen, in Peterhead. Can you help?
Yes. We also help cafés & coffee shops in nearby places such as Peterhead, Arbroath and Elgin. If you have more than one site, tell us about each one and we'll quote for the whole group.
Is Teya worth it for low-value sales?
Teya builds rates around your average transaction and volume. Send us a statement and we'll show you the comparison.
Is there a fee if I'm quiet?
On Teya's Start plan a £29.99 monthly fee applies when card turnover is under £2,500. We'll check which plan suits you.
