Local guide
Running a café or coffee shop in Stoke-on-Trent
Café trade in Shelton has an educational rhythm. University of Staffordshire has its main site there near Stoke-on-Trent railway station, and Stoke-on-Trent College's Cauldon Campus is also in Shelton. On Leek Road, City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College teaches around 1,800 students. A café serving these areas may handle a coffee before a lecture, a lunch between classes and customers stopping on their way to or from a train.
That mix makes it useful to separate counter payments from customers settling at a table. Teya Pro accepts contactless and mobile wallets alongside chip and PIN, and prints receipts at the counter. Teya Lite offers a smaller, pocket-sized option for moving around the café, with digital receipts. For a pre-arranged lunch order, Pay by Link lets you send the customer a payment request by text or email before collection.
Coffee before a lecture
At a café serving University of Staffordshire students in Shelton, takeaway coffees and sit-in orders can arrive together before classes. Teya Pro lets customers choose contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Keep the machine at the ordering counter, with its built-in printer available for anyone who needs a paper receipt.
Lunch orders from Leek Road
A customer near Leek Road phones through a café lunch order to collect between commitments. Send a Teya Pay by Link request by text or email for the order, rather than asking them to pay while collecting their food. The app and portal let you see transactions alongside your other café sales.
Settling before the train
A customer in Shelton has finished their drink and needs to leave for Stoke-on-Trent railway station while the counter is occupied with orders. Carry Teya Lite to the table to take payment there. Its pocket-sized format suits moving between seats, and digital receipts mean there is no paper receipt printer on the device.

Questions from Stoke-on-Trent cafés & coffee shops
Which Teya machine suits a small café in Shelton?
Teya Lite is a smaller, pocket-sized choice if you take payments both at the counter and beside tables. It uses Wi-Fi and 4G and provides digital receipts. If customers visiting from the university or railway station need printed receipts, Teya Pro has a built-in printer.
Can we take payment for café orders placed by phone near Leek Road?
Teya Pay by Link supports phone orders. Send the customer a link by text or email, or share a QR code where appropriate. For a café taking planned lunch collections around Leek Road, it provides a payment option separate from the counter machine.
