Local guide
Running a café or coffee shop in Nottingham
Nottingham cafés serve a substantial student community alongside people working in the city's science and commercial sectors. Almost 62,000 students attend its universities, including Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham. BioCity houses around 80 science-based companies. For a café serving these customers, the day can range from a coffee between lectures to a working lunch or a collection order for colleagues sharing a break.
Counter purchases and advance lunch orders need different payment routes. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with a built-in printer for customers who request a receipt. Pay by Link supports phone orders, while Tap to Pay takes contactless payments on an iPhone or Android phone through the Teya app without extra hardware. These options suit a café handling both individual drinks and orders arranged before collection.
Coffee between university lectures
Students from Nottingham Trent University stop for drinks between lectures, with some ordering to stay and others taking coffee away. Teya Pro handles contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the counter. Its built-in receipt printer gives you a paper option when a customer asks for a record of their purchase.
A BioCity lunch collection
Someone working at BioCity phones ahead to arrange lunch for colleagues rather than placing every order at the counter. Send a Pay by Link request by text or email for the phone order. You can view the transaction in the Teya app and portal alongside your café's other food and drink sales.
Serving a university reading group
A reading group from the University of Nottingham meets over coffee, reflecting the city's wider literary community. If you take payments at their table, Teya Lite fits in a pocket as you move around the café. It supports digital receipts and offers Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity without carrying a built-in printer.

Questions from Nottingham cafés & coffee shops
Can our Nottingham café take payment for lunch orders made by phone?
Yes. Pay by Link supports phone orders through links sent by text, email or QR code. For customers arranging a collection from workplaces such as BioCity, you can send the payment request before they visit, rather than taking that payment at the café counter.
Do we need a separate machine for contactless café payments?
Not necessarily. Tap to Pay lets you take contactless payments on an iPhone or Android phone using the Teya app, without extra hardware. For a café serving Nottingham's university community, that is an option where phone-based contactless acceptance suits your service.
Do you set up cafés & coffee shops in Hockley, the Lace Market and West Bridgford?
Yes. We quote for cafés & coffee shops anywhere in Nottingham, including Hockley, the Lace Market and West Bridgford, and across Nottinghamshire. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a café or coffee shop near Nottingham, in Beeston. Can you help?
Yes. We also help cafés & coffee shops in nearby places such as Beeston, Hucknall and Ilkeston. If you have more than one site, tell us about each one and we'll quote for the whole group.
Is Teya worth it for low-value sales?
Teya builds rates around your average transaction and volume. Send us a statement and we'll show you the comparison.
Is there a fee if I'm quiet?
On Teya's Start plan a £29.99 monthly fee applies when card turnover is under £2,500. We'll check which plan suits you.
How quickly can I start?
Once Teya approves your application, it sends your machine and we help you get set up. We'll talk you through the steps when you enquire.
