Running a pub or bar in Portsmouth
Portsmouth's performance venues give pubs and bars distinct evening trading patterns. The New Theatre Royal is in Guildhall Walk, Portsmouth Guildhall has a seating capacity of 2,500, and Southsea has the Wedgewood Rooms. A venue-led evening can bring customers ordering before a performance and returning afterwards. That differs from a steady session of regulars, with more people wanting to order and settle around the same point in the evening.
For that pattern, it helps to distinguish counter payments from service away from the bar. Teya Pro takes contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and prints receipts at the terminal. Teya Lite is pocket-sized for moving between tables, with digital receipts. If your Portsmouth bar accepts group bookings, Pay by Link can collect a deposit beforehand, while the app and portal let you view sales and transactions.
Drinks before the theatre
Before a performance at the New Theatre Royal, several parties may arrive at a Guildhall Walk bar with the same departure time in mind. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN and mobile wallets at the counter. Its built-in printer gives customers who need a paper receipt that option during payment.
Table service on music nights
A Southsea bar offering table service may have customers meeting before a night at the Wedgewood Rooms. Carry Teya Lite between tables to take payments where customers are sitting. Its pocket-sized format, Wi-Fi and 4G suit moving around the room, and receipts are digital rather than printed at the table.
A gathering before the concert
A group asks to reserve space at your bar before a Portsmouth Guildhall concert. If your booking terms include a deposit, send a Pay by Link request by email or text. Check the transaction through the Teya app or portal, keeping the payment step separate from agreeing arrival times and seating.
