Local guide
Running a restaurant in Luton
Running a restaurant in Luton means serving more than a single dining crowd. Bury Park is a major shopping area with shops catering to the town's ethnic minority communities, while the town centre combines shopping with the University of Bedfordshire campus. London Luton Airport adds travellers to a customer base of residents and commuting workers, so a dining room might move from working lunches to family meals and visitors eating before onward travel.
That mix calls for different ways to handle the bill rather than a single counter routine. Teya Pro lets diners pay by contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with Split Bill for equal shares or custom amounts. Its built-in printer suits customers wanting a paper receipt. For advance group bookings, Pay by Link lets you request a deposit by text or email before guests arrive.
Family meals in Bury Park
A family meal after shopping in Bury Park can end with several people wanting to contribute different amounts. Bring Teya Pro to the table and use Split Bill to divide the total by custom amounts or equally. Guests can pay by card or mobile wallet, and the built-in printer provides paper receipts.
Lunch around the university
For a town centre restaurant serving people from the University of Bedfordshire, lunch can mean separate tables finishing together. A pocket-sized Teya Lite can move around the dining room rather than staying at the counter. It accepts payments using Wi-Fi or 4G and provides digital receipts without a built-in printer.
Group bookings before travel
A party arranging dinner before travelling through London Luton Airport may want to confirm its booking remotely. Send a deposit request using Pay by Link by text or email, rather than asking someone to visit the restaurant. When the group dines, Teya Pro supports on-screen tipping alongside the final card payment.

Questions from Luton restaurants
Can diners split a restaurant bill in Bury Park?
Yes. Teya Pro supports Split Bill, either evenly or by custom amounts. That suits family tables after a Bury Park shopping trip when guests want to contribute differently. It also has a built-in receipt printer and supports on-screen tipping.
How can I take deposits for Luton restaurant bookings?
Pay by Link lets you send a payment request by text, email or QR code for a booking deposit. It is useful when arranging meals with visitors travelling through London Luton Airport, who may not be able to call into the restaurant beforehand.
Do you set up restaurants in the town centre, Bury Park and Wigmore?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Luton, including the town centre, Bury Park and Wigmore, and across Bedfordshire. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Luton, in Dunstable. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin. 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.
