Local guide
Running a café or coffee shop in Southampton
Cafe demand in Southampton can follow the city's outdoor and cultural routines. Southampton Common hosts a Parkrun every Saturday, as well as summer festivals, circuses and fun fairs. SeaCity Museum explores the city's trading history and Titanic connections, while Southampton City Art Gallery houses permanent and travelling exhibitions. Cafes serving these visitors need to accommodate different visits, from a drink after exercise to a longer break during a day spent exploring.
Those routines create a mix of takeaway counter orders, seated customers and groups arriving together. Teya Pro fits a counter where printed receipts matter, accepting contactless, chip and PIN and mobile wallets. Teya Lite offers a pocket-sized option for taking payments to tables. For a Southampton cafe trying an occasional outdoor service point, Tap to Pay takes contactless payments through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone without extra hardware.
Coffee after the Saturday run
After Parkrun on Southampton Common, customers arrive for coffee while others are still choosing breakfast. Teya Pro handles contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the counter. A built-in printer provides receipts for those who want them, keeping that part of service on the card machine itself.
A pause between museum visits
Visitors taking a break after SeaCity Museum sit down for drinks and food rather than a takeaway order. Bring a Teya Lite to their table when they are ready to leave. The pocket-sized machine provides digital receipts, giving your cafe a payment option away from the main ordering counter.
An outdoor summer service point
If your cafe operates an outdoor service point during a summer event on Southampton Common, Tap to Pay offers a contactless option without an additional card reader. Use the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone to take payments, while keeping your usual cafe counter arrangement separate from the temporary service.

Questions from Southampton cafés & coffee shops
Can I take payments away from my cafe counter near Southampton Common?
Teya Lite is a pocket-sized machine for moving between tables, with Wi-Fi, 4G and digital receipts. For an occasional contactless service point near Southampton Common, Tap to Pay works through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone without extra hardware.
What if museum visitors ask my Southampton cafe for paper receipts?
Teya Pro has a built-in receipt printer, so it suits a cafe serving SeaCity Museum or gallery visitors who want a paper record. It takes contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Teya Lite instead provides digital receipts and has no printer.
