Local guide
Running a café or coffee shop in Portsmouth
Café customers in Portsmouth have reasons to linger as well as reasons to grab something to go. The University of Portsmouth provides a term-time audience, while Southsea Castle and the Blue Reef Aquarium give visitors reasons to spend the day by the coast. A café serving either audience needs to balance small takeaway orders with customers sitting down between activities, rather than treating every transaction as the same sort of visit.
Counter orders call for a clear choice of payment methods, while seated customers may prefer to pay without returning to the queue. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with printed receipts when needed. Teya Lite gives cafés a pocket-sized option for moving between tables and sending digital receipts. For prearranged food or drink orders, Pay by Link can take payment from a text or email.
Coffee between university sessions
A café serving University of Portsmouth students may see takeaway coffees ordered alongside longer sit-down visits during term time. Teya Pro takes contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the counter. Customers who want a paper record can receive one from its built-in printer when they pay.
Family stop after the aquarium
After visiting the Blue Reef Aquarium, a family settles into your café with drinks and food. When they are ready to leave, Teya Lite lets you bring the payment device to their table. Its pocket-sized design suits moving through a seating area, with digital receipts instead of a printed slip.
An arranged coastal lunch collection
Visitors planning a day around Southsea Castle phone ahead to arrange a café lunch collection. Once you have agreed the order, send a Pay by Link request by text or email. The customer can pay through the link, and you can view the transaction in the Teya app or portal.

Questions from Portsmouth cafés & coffee shops
Does a café serving Portsmouth students need a receipt printer?
That depends on your service rather than your audience alone. Teya Pro has a built-in printer for paper receipts, while Teya Lite provides digital receipts without a printer. A café serving University of Portsmouth students can choose according to how it handles counter and table orders.
Can I take contactless payments on a phone at my Southsea café?
Yes. Tap to Pay uses the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone to accept contactless payments without extra hardware. It is an option if your Southsea café wants a phone-based way to take payment alongside its usual ordering arrangements.
