Local guide
Running a takeaway in Cardiff
Cardiff's takeaway trade can draw on sporting audiences beyond the city-centre rugby ground. Cardiff City Stadium hosts Cardiff City F.C. and the Wales football team, while Ice Arena Wales is home to the Cardiff Devils. Leckwith also has a suburban retail park. For takeaways serving these areas, shopping trips, football fixtures and ice hockey give customers different reasons to collect food, sometimes with several orders arriving around the same event.
At collection, the payment choice needs to suit customers arriving in person as well as those who ordered by phone. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with a built-in receipt printer. Pay by Link lets staff send payment requests for phone orders. Tap to Pay provides another contactless option on an iPhone or Android phone through the Teya app, without extra hardware.
Food before the football
Supporters heading to Cardiff City Stadium stop to collect food before the fixture. At the collection counter, Teya Pro accepts contactless cards, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Staff can provide a printed payment receipt from the machine, while the owner can review sales and transactions in the Teya app.
A phone order after hockey
Customers leaving a Cardiff Devils fixture at Ice Arena Wales phone ahead with a food order. Staff can send a Pay by Link request by text or email so payment is handled before collection. It offers a way to take payment for the phone order without asking customers to visit first.
Another option at collection
A takeaway serving shoppers around Leckwith wants an additional contactless payment option when several customers arrive to collect. Tap to Pay uses the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone, with no extra hardware. Staff can use it for contactless payments alongside the business's usual card machine at the counter.

Questions from Cardiff takeaways
Can customers pay for phone orders before collecting after football?
Yes. Pay by Link supports phone orders through a payment link sent by text, email or QR code. A takeaway serving Cardiff City Stadium customers can request payment ahead of collection rather than handling every payment when supporters arrive at the counter.
What if my takeaway's counter Wi-Fi is unavailable?
Teya Pro has Wi-Fi with 4G fallback, giving a takeaway serving the Leckwith area an alternative connection option. It also includes a receipt printer. Teya Lite offers Wi-Fi and 4G if a smaller machine with digital receipts better suits your collection space.
