Local guide
Running a restaurant in Cardiff
Restaurant trade in Cardiff stretches from dining spots along Whitchurch Road to waterfront hospitality near the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. The arts complex hosts opera, ballet, comedy and musicals, giving nearby dining rooms a clear reason to plan around performance schedules. Alongside those visits, the Senedd and the city's role as the main commercial centre of Wales create a different setting for working lunches and organised meals.
Those patterns call for payments at the table, deposits before group bookings and a practical way to divide a shared meal. Teya Pro supports Split Bill, either evenly or by custom amounts, plus on-screen tipping and printed receipts. Pay by Link lets a restaurant send a deposit request by text or email, while the Teya app and portal let the owner see sales and transactions across the service.
Dinner before the performance
A table near the Wales Millennium Centre wants to settle before a musical starts, but each diner is paying a different share. Bring Teya Pro to the table and use Split Bill with custom amounts. Guests can pay by contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with a printed receipt available.
A group booking deposit
A restaurant on Whitchurch Road takes a telephone enquiry for a group meal. Rather than waiting until the organiser next visits, send a deposit request through Pay by Link by text or email. The organiser can pay through the link, and the restaurant can view the transaction in the Teya app or portal.
Working lunch by the Bay
A group meeting near the Senedd finishes lunch and asks to divide the bill evenly. Teya Pro supports that choice through Split Bill and has a built-in receipt printer for diners who want paper records. Staff can take the machine to the table, using Wi-Fi with 4G fallback for connectivity.

Questions from Cardiff restaurants
Can diners split a restaurant bill in Cardiff Bay?
Yes. Teya Pro supports splitting evenly or by custom amounts, useful when a Cardiff Bay table combines shared dishes with individual orders. It also supports on-screen tipping and printed receipts, so staff can handle those requests at the table.
How can my Whitchurch Road restaurant take booking deposits?
Pay by Link lets you send a payment link by text, email or QR code for a booking deposit. For a Whitchurch Road restaurant arranging group meals by phone, that provides a way to request payment without requiring a separate visit.
Do you set up restaurants in Cardiff Bay, Whitchurch Road and the Castle Quarter arcades?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Cardiff, including Cardiff Bay, Whitchurch Road and the Castle Quarter arcades, and across Wales. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Cardiff, in Penarth. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Penarth, Barry and Caerphilly. 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.
