Local guide
Running a restaurant in Preston
Restaurant trading in Preston sits alongside shopping, civic business and visits to the city centre. Fishergate and Friargate are the main high streets, with restaurants also tucked into their side streets. Winckley Square adds Georgian architecture to the centre, while the Harris Museum is another visitor landmark. That mix gives dining businesses reasons to cater for planned meals as well as people choosing somewhere to eat during a day out.
A restaurant serving this mix of Preston customers may need to take a booking deposit remotely, carry a machine to a table and divide a group’s final bill. Teya Pay by Link supports deposits sent by text or email. Teya Pro handles table payments, offers on-screen tipping and lets diners split evenly or by custom amounts, with a built-in printer for customers who want a paper receipt after their meal.
Lunch around the shopping streets
A restaurant off Fishergate could serve shoppers alongside customers with a limited lunch break. Taking the card machine to their table avoids asking them to join a counter queue. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and its built-in printer provides a receipt at the table.
Friends dividing the dinner bill
For a group dining after a walk around Winckley Square, the bill may not divide neatly: some diners have shared dishes while others have ordered separately. Teya Pro’s Split Bill supports equal shares or custom amounts. Staff can bring the machine over and offer on-screen tipping when customers pay.
Taking a group booking deposit
A party planning a meal during a Preston city centre visit may want to arrange everything before travelling. Rather than asking the organiser to call into the restaurant, send a deposit request using Teya Pay by Link by text or email. The Teya app and portal let you view sales and transactions.
