Running a café or coffee shop in Birmingham
Birmingham's universities give cafes a term-time audience with different routines from office workers and occasional visitors. Aston University and Birmingham City University are among the city's universities, while Royal Birmingham Conservatoire provides professional training in music and acting. A cafe serving these communities might see a takeaway coffee between classes, a longer study visit or a group meeting. Those visits place different demands on seating, counter space and payment handling.
For counter service, Teya Pro brings card and mobile wallet acceptance together with a built-in receipt printer. If your cafe prefers digital receipts and a smaller machine, Teya Lite offers a pocket-sized alternative with Wi-Fi and 4G. Tap to Pay also lets you accept contactless payments on an iPhone or Android phone through the Teya app, without extra hardware, which can suit a separate collection point during term-time trading.
Coffee between university classes
At a cafe serving Aston University students, customers collecting takeaway coffees may pay by phone while others use chip and PIN. Teya Pro accepts both, alongside contactless cards and Google Pay or Apple Pay. Keep it at the counter, with its built-in receipt printer available for customers who request paper.
A separate collection point
During term time, a cafe serving Birmingham City University might use a separate point for customers collecting drinks. Tap to Pay lets you take contactless payments there on an iPhone or Android phone using the Teya app. It needs no extra hardware, making it an option when counter space is limited.
Settling a study group bill
A group visiting after classes at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire has ordered drinks and food together but wants separate contributions. Teya Pro's Split Bill supports equal shares or custom amounts. Bring the machine to their table to take payment, with printed receipts available if anyone wants a record of their purchase.

Questions from Birmingham cafés & coffee shops
Do I need printed receipts for my student-facing Birmingham cafe?
Your service preference can guide the choice. Teya Lite provides digital receipts and has no printer, while Teya Pro includes a built-in printer. For a cafe serving Aston University customers, consider whether paper receipts are regularly requested before choosing your machine.
Can I take contactless payments away from my main cafe counter?
Yes. Tap to Pay uses the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone without extra hardware. A Birmingham cafe handling term-time collections could use it at a separate payment point. Teya Lite is another portable option if you prefer a dedicated machine.
Do you set up cafés & coffee shops in Digbeth, the Jewellery Quarter and Moseley?
Yes. We quote for cafés & coffee shops anywhere in Birmingham, including Digbeth, the Jewellery Quarter and Moseley, and across West Midlands. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a café or coffee shop near Birmingham, in West Bromwich. Can you help?
Yes. We also help cafés & coffee shops in nearby places such as West Bromwich, Halesowen and Solihull. 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?
