Running a restaurant in Southampton
Restaurant trade in Southampton draws on more than neighbourhood dining. Oxford Street serves residents, university students and international travellers, while Ocean Village combines a marina with homes, businesses and leisure uses. The city's cruise terminals bring bursts of visitor trade across the season. For a restaurant, that means regular customers and working lunches can sit alongside groups fitting a meal around their travel plans, with different expectations about how to pay.
That mix calls for payments at the table, clear ways to divide a group meal and a separate route for booking deposits. Teya Pro supports Split Bill, either evenly or by custom amounts, plus on-screen tipping and printed receipts. A pocket-sized Teya Lite suits movement between tables where digital receipts are appropriate. Pay by Link lets you send deposit requests by text or email before a Southampton group arrives for its booking.
Sharing dinner on Oxford Street
A group finishing dinner on Oxford Street wants to share the food bill but pay different amounts for drinks. Bring Teya Pro to the table and use Split Bill with custom amounts. Guests can pay by contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with printed receipts available from the machine.
Lunch beside the marina
At an Ocean Village restaurant, business lunches overlap with diners spending time around the marina. Teya Lite fits in a pocket as you move between tables and provides digital rather than printed receipts. For guests who want to pay without returning to the counter, it supports a table-side payment routine.
Planning a cruise group meal
A party travelling through Southampton asks to reserve a restaurant meal ahead of its cruise. Rather than leaving the deposit until arrival, send a Pay by Link request by email or text. When the party dines, Teya Pro can divide the remaining bill evenly or by custom amounts at the table.

Questions from Southampton restaurants
Can diners on Oxford Street split their bill at the table?
Yes. Teya Pro supports Split Bill for equal shares or custom amounts, useful when Oxford Street diners have shared dishes but ordered separately elsewhere on the menu. It also supports on-screen tipping and has a built-in printer for customers who need paper receipts.
How can I take deposits for Southampton cruise-related bookings?
Pay by Link lets you send a deposit payment link by text or email before guests travel to Southampton. It suits restaurant bookings arranged remotely. Use the Teya app and portal to see transactions, alongside your own booking records and arrangements with the party.
Do you set up restaurants in Oxford Street, Bedford Place and Shirley?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Southampton, including Oxford Street, Bedford Place and Shirley, and across Hampshire. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Southampton, in Eastleigh. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Eastleigh, Fareham and Lymington. 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.
