Running a pub or bar in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's pub and bar trade has more than festival nights to plan for. Usher Hall stages classical music and occasional popular concerts, while large concerts also take place at Murrayfield Stadium and Meadowbank Stadium. The city has pubs known for live folk performances, too. Those different audiences can mean a round before a performance, an evening spent listening, or groups arriving after an event has finished.
For a bar, the practical question is where each payment happens: at the main counter, beside a seated group or at another serving position. Teya Lite is pocket-sized, with Wi-Fi and 4G and digital receipts for moving around. Teya Pro suits a position where printed receipts matter and supports on-screen tipping. Staff can be set up in the Teya app and portal, where you can also see sales and transactions.
Rounds before an Usher Hall concert
Before a concert at Usher Hall, groups may order drinks together but pay in separate rounds. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the bar. Its built-in receipt printer suits customers who want a paper record before they leave for the evening's performance.
Serving seated folk music listeners
In an Edinburgh pub hosting folk music, customers listening at tables may prefer to settle without gathering at the bar. Pocket-sized Teya Lite can travel with the person serving them. It has Wi-Fi and 4G and provides digital receipts rather than paper, making it an option for payments away from the main counter.
Another concert night serving position
For a pub serving customers around a Murrayfield Stadium concert, an additional serving position may be useful on event nights. Tap to Pay takes contactless payments through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone, without extra hardware. Use it where customers are ordering while retaining your main card machine at the bar.

Questions from Edinburgh pubs & bars
Can I take payments away from the main bar on Edinburgh concert nights?
Teya Lite is pocket-sized and supports Wi-Fi and 4G, so it suits moving between serving positions or tables. For concert trade around Usher Hall, it provides an alternative to keeping every payment at the main counter. Receipts on Lite are digital rather than printed.
Can customers leave a tip when paying for drinks?
Teya Pro supports on-screen tipping. In an Edinburgh bar serving seated customers during live music, you can present that option when they pay. Pro also has a built-in printer if a customer wants a paper receipt for their drinks.
Do you set up pubs & bars in the Old Town, Leith and Stockbridge?
Yes. We quote for pubs & bars anywhere in Edinburgh, including the Old Town, Leith and Stockbridge, and across Scotland. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a pub or bar near Edinburgh, in Musselburgh. Can you help?
Yes. We also help pubs & bars in nearby places such as Musselburgh, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline. If you have more than one site, tell us about each one and we'll quote for the whole group.
Will the machine work in the beer garden?
Teya Pro switches between Wi-Fi and 4G, so it keeps working away from the bar, subject to mobile signal.
