Running a café or coffee shop in Northampton
Café trade in Northampton can draw on study, work and time outdoors rather than a single shopping rush. The University of Northampton moved to its waterside campus by the River Nene in the town centre in 2018. The town also has extensive parks and open spaces, including Abington Park. A café serving these audiences may balance customers taking a break between classes with walkers stopping for drinks and something to eat.
Those visits create different payment points: a takeaway coffee at the counter, a seated order, or drinks sold from a temporary stall. Teya Pro suits a counter where printed receipts are needed and accepts contactless and mobile wallets. Teya Lite provides a pocket-sized option for moving around with digital receipts. For occasional contactless sales away from the counter, Tap to Pay uses the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone without extra hardware.
Coffee between university classes
A café serving University of Northampton students may see takeaway coffees ordered alongside sit-down lunches. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the counter. Customers who need a paper receipt can have one from the built-in printer, and staff can view transactions through the Teya app and portal.
Drinks after a park walk
For a café serving visitors to Abington Park, a walking group might settle individually after sharing a table. Carry Teya Lite to customers when taking separate payments, with digital receipts available instead of paper. If customers ask to divide a shared bill, Teya Pro offers equal splitting or custom amounts.
An occasional outdoor coffee stall
If you run a coffee stall for visitors enjoying the River Nene, your payment point may be separate from your usual café counter. Tap to Pay takes contactless payments through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone without extra hardware. Alternatively, Teya Lite offers a pocket-sized machine with Wi-Fi and 4G.

Questions from Northampton cafés & coffee shops
Do I need a printer for a café serving Northampton students?
That depends on how you want to provide receipts, rather than the customer group. Teya Lite uses digital receipts and is pocket-sized for table service. Teya Pro has a built-in printer if your café near the University of Northampton wants paper receipts at the counter.
Can I take contactless payments at an occasional Northampton coffee stall?
Yes. Tap to Pay uses the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone, with no extra hardware, for contactless payments. For a stall serving River Nene visitors, Teya Lite is another option if you prefer a separate pocket-sized machine with Wi-Fi and 4G.
Do you set up cafés & coffee shops in the Market Square, Abington Street and Wellingborough Road?
Yes. We quote for cafés & coffee shops anywhere in Northampton, including the Market Square, Abington Street and Wellingborough Road, and across Northamptonshire. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a café or coffee shop near Northampton, in Wellingborough. Can you help?
