Local guide
Running a restaurant in London
Running a restaurant in London means catering for very different reasons to eat out. Chinatown is a recognised centre for Chinese food, while Upper Street in Islington has more bars and restaurants than any other British street. The West End adds theatre audiences and tourists to that mix. A dining room can move from visitors taking their time over lunch to groups fitting dinner around a performance.
Those patterns make the end of the meal as important as taking the order. Teya Pro can come to the table for contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay payments, with Split Bill for equal shares or custom amounts. On-screen tipping lets guests make their own choice. For group reservations, Pay by Link lets you request a deposit by text or email before the diners arrive.
Dinner before the curtain
A restaurant serving West End theatre audiences may have several tables asking to pay before the same performance. Bring Teya Pro to each table rather than sending guests to the counter. Diners can pay by card or mobile wallet, and the built-in printer provides a receipt for anyone who wants one.
Sharing an Upper Street supper
Friends finishing dinner on Upper Street may want to divide their bill differently from how they ordered. Teya Pro supports Split Bill, either evenly or by custom amounts. Staff can handle those choices at the table, with on-screen tipping available rather than a separate conversation about adding a gratuity.
Booking a Chinatown gathering
For a larger Chinatown booking, a restaurant might ask for a deposit before reserving the tables. Pay by Link lets you send the organiser a payment link by text or email. The payment request can happen before service, while the Teya app and portal let you view sales and transactions.

Questions from London restaurants
Can guests split their bill at our Islington restaurant?
Yes. Teya Pro supports Split Bill for equal shares or custom amounts. That suits Upper Street tables where friends share dishes but want to contribute differently. Staff can bring the machine to the diners, and on-screen tipping is also available.
Can we take deposits for West End dinner bookings?
Pay by Link lets you send a deposit payment link by text, email or QR code. For a restaurant handling bookings around West End performances, that means the organiser can make a payment before arriving rather than visiting the restaurant beforehand.
Do you set up restaurants in Soho, Shoreditch and Camden?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in London, including Soho, Shoreditch and Camden, and across Greater London. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near London, in Covent Garden, London. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Covent Garden, London, Fitzrovia, London and Marylebone, London. 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.
