Local guide
Running a restaurant in Bristol
Restaurant trade around Wapping Wharf sits alongside Bristol's redeveloped docks, where cultural and heritage uses have replaced much of the old port activity. The Arnolfini adds an arts destination to the waterfront, while harbour boat services carry both leisure passengers and commuters. For a dining room in this setting, the working day can include residents meeting for lunch, visitors exploring the docks and groups making a meal part of a longer outing.
That mix calls for payments at the table as well as a clear way to collect booking deposits before guests arrive. Teya Pro combines a built-in receipt printer with on-screen tipping and Split Bill, allowing diners to divide the total evenly or by custom amounts. Pay by Link lets you send a deposit request by text or email, while the Teya app and portal let you review sales and transactions after service.
Sharing the waterfront dinner bill
A group finishes dinner at Wapping Wharf and wants to pay separately before continuing its evening. Take Teya Pro to the table and use Split Bill to divide the total evenly or enter custom amounts. Guests can pay by contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with printed receipts available from the machine.
Taking an arts outing deposit
Visitors planning a trip to the Arnolfini arrange a group meal with your restaurant. Rather than waiting until everyone reaches the dining room to collect the agreed deposit, send a Pay by Link request by email or text. The organiser can make the payment through the link before the booking.
Serving across the dining room
At a restaurant overlooking Bristol Harbour, guests ask for their bills at different tables while arrivals wait to be seated. Teya Lite is pocket-sized for moving around the room and takes payments over Wi-Fi or 4G. Its digital receipts suit service where you do not need to carry a printer between tables.

Questions from Bristol restaurants
Can our Wapping Wharf restaurant let guests split the bill at the table?
Yes. Teya Pro supports Split Bill, either evenly or by custom amounts. That suits a Wapping Wharf table where guests have shared some dishes but want different totals. It also supports on-screen tipping and has a built-in printer for receipts.
How can we collect deposits for meals booked around an Arnolfini visit?
Pay by Link lets you send a payment request by text, email or QR code for a booking deposit. For a group organising an Arnolfini visit and a meal, you can send the link to the organiser before the restaurant booking.
Do you set up restaurants in Stokes Croft, Gloucester Road and Wapping Wharf?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Bristol, including Stokes Croft, Gloucester Road and Wapping Wharf, and across South West England. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Bristol, in Bath. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Bath, Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare. If you have more than one site, tell us about each one and we'll quote for the whole group.
Can diners split the bill at the table?
Yes — Teya Pro handles split bills and tips on screen, so staff don't need to walk back to the till.
Does Teya work with my restaurant EPOS?
EPOS compatibility depends on your system and version, so we check it before you apply. Tell us which one you use.
How fast are payouts?
Teya settles card takings the next working day as standard, and qualifying businesses can choose everyday or Instant Settlement options, with conditions and in some cases an extra charge.
