Running a pub or bar in Cardiff
Cardiff's pubs and bars serve a city where different sports bring different drinking occasions. The Principality Stadium is the home of the Wales national rugby union team, while Sophia Gardens hosts Glamorgan County Cricket Club. Cardiff Arms Park adds another rugby setting. For a publican, a fixture can mean groups arriving together before play, regulars sharing the bar with visitors and another change in demand when spectators leave.
A bar needs payment equipment that suits both counter service and staff moving between tables. Teya Pro takes contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and includes a receipt printer. Pocket-sized Teya Lite is an alternative for moving around, with digital receipts rather than paper. Owners can use the Teya app and portal to see transactions and set up staff for their pub or bar operation.
Rugby supporters at the bar
Before a fixture at the Principality Stadium, a group orders a round while other supporters wait to be served. Teya Pro accepts contactless cards, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the counter. Its built-in printer provides a paper receipt when the person buying the round asks for one.
Table service after cricket
After watching cricket at Sophia Gardens, customers settle into tables rather than standing at the bar. Staff can carry pocket-sized Teya Lite to take payment where guests are sitting. It has Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity and provides digital receipts, making it an option when a printed slip is not needed.
An extra contactless payment point
On a Cardiff Arms Park fixture day, a pub wants another way to accept contactless payments alongside its usual bar machine. Tap to Pay works through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone, without extra hardware. It gives staff an additional contactless payment option for customers ordering drinks.

Questions from Cardiff pubs & bars
Which machine suits table payments after a Sophia Gardens fixture?
Teya Lite is pocket-sized for moving around tables and supports Wi-Fi and 4G, with digital receipts. If your customers returning from Sophia Gardens want paper receipts instead, Teya Pro includes a built-in printer and can also be brought to the table.
Can I review transactions from a Principality Stadium matchday?
The Teya app and portal let you see sales and transactions, giving you records to review after a Principality Stadium fixture. Staff can also be set up. For questions about using the equipment, Teya provides customer support around the clock.
