Local guide
Running a restaurant in Leicester
Restaurant trading in Leicester takes different forms, but the Golden Mile gives the city a particularly recognisable dining destination. This stretch of Belgrave Road is renowned for Indian restaurants, alongside sari shops and jewellers. Family-run restaurants and sweet shops shape its counter service as well as its sit-down meals. Leicester's Diwali celebrations focus on this area, giving restaurant owners a distinct occasion to plan bookings, staffing and service around.
That mix calls for payments at the table, at a collection counter and before a larger booking arrives. Teya Pro supports Split Bill, either evenly or by custom amounts, plus on-screen tipping and printed receipts. A pocket-sized Teya Lite suits staff moving between tables, with digital receipts rather than a printer. For group reservations requiring a deposit, Pay by Link lets you send a payment request by text or email.
Sharing the celebration meal
A family meal on Belgrave Road ends with different guests wanting to cover different parts of the bill. Bring Teya Pro to the table and use Split Bill for custom amounts or an even division. Guests can pay by contactless or chip and PIN, and the built-in printer provides receipts.
Planning for Diwali bookings
For a restaurant taking group reservations around the Golden Mile's Diwali celebrations, deposits can be handled before guests arrive. Send a Pay by Link request by text or email rather than asking the organiser to visit the counter. You can then see the resulting payment transaction in the Teya app or portal.
Counter orders beside table service
A Golden Mile restaurant might serve diners while also taking sweet orders at the counter. Keep Teya Pro available for printed receipts and use pocket-sized Teya Lite when staff need to move around the dining room. Lite accepts payments over Wi-Fi or 4G and provides digital receipts without a built-in printer.

Questions from Leicester restaurants
Can guests split a restaurant bill on the Golden Mile?
Yes. Teya Pro's Split Bill supports an even split or custom amounts, which suits family meals on the Golden Mile where guests want different contributions. It also supports on-screen tipping, so you can handle those choices at the table.
How can we take deposits for Diwali restaurant bookings?
Use Pay by Link to send a deposit request by text or email to the booking organiser. For a Belgrave Road restaurant planning around Diwali, this lets you request payment before the visit rather than requiring someone to call in.
Do you set up restaurants in the Golden Mile, the Cultural Quarter and Queens Road?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Leicester, including the Golden Mile, the Cultural Quarter and Queens Road, and across Leicestershire. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Leicester, in Loughborough. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Loughborough, Coalville and Hinckley. 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.
