Local guide
Running a restaurant in Glasgow
Running a restaurant in Glasgow means serving different occasions within the same sitting. Finnieston has a dense concentration of independent kitchens, while Merchant City is another established dining corridor. Residents, workers and university students all contribute to demand across these areas. A weekend service might move from couples eating early to larger groups settling in for dinner, making the way bills reach the table an important part of service.
Those dining patterns call for payments at the table as well as arrangements made before guests arrive. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with Split Bill for equal shares or custom amounts. On-screen tipping gives diners a choice when paying. For a group booking in Merchant City, Pay by Link lets you request a deposit by text or email without taking payment details over the phone.
Separate shares after dinner
A group finishing dinner in Finnieston wants to divide the bill, but not everyone has ordered the same amount. Take Teya Pro to the table and use Split Bill to enter custom amounts or divide evenly. Guests can pay by card or mobile wallet, and the built-in printer provides paper receipts.
Deposits for group tables
A caller organising a Merchant City dinner wants to confirm arrangements before gathering everyone together. Use Pay by Link to send a deposit request by text or email. The organiser can make the payment through the link, while you can view transactions in the Teya app or portal alongside other restaurant payments.
Moving between dining tables
During a busy Glasgow weekend service, diners may be ready to pay at different points across the room. Pocket-sized Teya Lite lets staff carry a machine between tables rather than direct guests to a fixed counter. It has Wi-Fi and 4G, accepts payments on the device and provides digital receipts rather than printed slips.

Questions from Glasgow restaurants
Can our Finnieston restaurant split a bill by what each guest owes?
Yes. Teya Pro supports Split Bill with custom amounts as well as equal shares. That suits a Finnieston table where diners have chosen different dishes or drinks. Staff can bring the machine to the guests, and paper receipts are available from its built-in printer.
How can we collect deposits for Merchant City restaurant bookings?
Pay by Link lets you send a payment link by text, email or QR code for a booking deposit. For a Merchant City group reservation, that means the organiser can pay before visiting. You can see the resulting transaction in the Teya app or portal.
Do you set up restaurants in Finnieston, Merchant City and Shawlands?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Glasgow, including Finnieston, Merchant City and Shawlands, and across Scotland. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Glasgow, in East Kilbride. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as East Kilbride, Paisley and Coatbridge. 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.
