Local guide
Running a restaurant in Portsmouth
Restaurant trade in Portsmouth draws on different parts of its waterfront economy. Gunwharf Quays combines stores, restaurants and a cinema, while Old Portsmouth has the fishing fleet at Camber Quay and its quayside fish market. Those settings suggest different dining occasions: a meal during a shopping trip, an evening around a film, or a waterfront lunch. Service needs to accommodate visitors as well as customers returning for their usual table.
That mix creates payments at the table, shared bills and advance arrangements for larger bookings. Teya Pro supports Split Bill, either evenly or by custom amounts, plus on-screen tipping and a built-in receipt printer. Its Wi-Fi with 4G fallback suits a restaurant choosing how to connect its terminal. Pay by Link lets you send a payment request for a booking deposit by text or email before guests arrive.
Sharing a waterfront lunch bill
A group finishing lunch in Old Portsmouth wants to pay separately before continuing its waterfront visit. Bring Teya Pro to the table and use Split Bill to divide the total evenly or enter custom amounts. Guests can pay by contactless or chip and PIN, with a printed receipt available from the machine.
Dinner before the cinema
At Gunwharf Quays, diners fitting a meal around a cinema visit may ask to settle while others are still finishing. A pocket-sized Teya Lite lets you take payment beside the table rather than directing everyone to a counter. It supports Wi-Fi and 4G and provides digital receipts rather than printed ones.
Planning a larger harbour booking
A restaurant near Camber Quay takes a phone enquiry for a larger meal booking. Instead of leaving the deposit until the group visits, send a Teya Pay by Link request by text or email. You can then check the transaction in the Teya app or portal as part of your booking administration.

Questions from Portsmouth restaurants
Can diners split their bill at our Old Portsmouth restaurant?
Yes. Teya Pro supports Split Bill for equal shares or custom amounts, useful when a waterfront lunch includes different orders. You can take the machine to the table, offer on-screen tipping and print receipts without asking the whole party to gather at the counter.
How can we take deposits for Gunwharf Quays dining bookings?
Use Pay by Link to send a deposit request by text or email, or present a QR code. For guests arranging dinner around shopping or the cinema at Gunwharf Quays, this means payment can happen before their visit. Transactions are visible in the Teya app and portal.
Do you set up restaurants in Southsea, Gunwharf and Albert Road?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Portsmouth, including Southsea, Gunwharf and Albert Road, and across Hampshire. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Portsmouth, in Gosport. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Gosport, Fareham and Havant. 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.
