Local guide
Running a takeaway in Glasgow
Glasgow takeaways can serve very different waves of customers depending on their location. Glasgow Central handles suburban services from the south side of the city as well as longer-distance routes, while Buchanan bus station is the main bus terminal. Sporting trips add another occasion for food on the move: motorcycle speedway is staged at Ashfield Stadium. These settings make collection orders, walk-in meals and food bought before travelling distinct parts of takeaway trading.
At a takeaway counter, customers may want to pay with a card or phone while staff are also handling orders placed by telephone. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and prints receipts. Pay by Link lets you send a payment request for a phone order by text or email. The Teya app and portal give a Glasgow takeaway owner visibility of sales and transactions across service.
Food before the train
A customer collecting food before travelling from Glasgow Central asks to pay by phone and wants a paper receipt. Teya Pro accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay as well as card payments, with a built-in printer for the slip. The machine has Wi-Fi with 4G fallback for taking payments at the counter.
Orders around speedway racing
On a speedway evening at Ashfield Stadium, a nearby takeaway receives a phone order from customers planning to collect food before racing. Staff can send a Pay by Link request by text or email. The payment can then be viewed in the Teya app or portal alongside other transactions from that service.
Another contactless collection point
A takeaway serving travellers near Buchanan bus station wants to take contactless payments at a separate collection point using a phone. Tap to Pay lets staff accept those payments through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android device. No additional payment hardware is needed for that contactless payment arrangement.
