Running a takeaway in Stoke-on-Trent
Takeaway trade in Stoke-on-Trent includes the Staffordshire oatcake, traditionally made in corner-shop style bakeries and served hot or cold with sweet or savoury fillings. The city's working population adds other meal occasions: Royal Stoke University Hospital in Hartshill employs over 7,000 staff, and food manufacturing is part of Trent Vale's economy. A takeaway serving these areas may balance regular breakfast orders with meals collected around work and other daily commitments.
Phone orders and walk-in collections need different payment choices. Teya Pay by Link lets you send a request by text or email for an order placed remotely. At the collection counter, Teya Pro takes contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with a built-in printer for receipts. If counter space is limited, Tap to Pay takes contactless payments through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone without extra hardware.
Oatcake orders at breakfast
At an oatcake takeaway in Stoke-on-Trent, a regular customer collects filled oatcakes while another places an order at the counter. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN and mobile wallets for those collections. Its built-in printer provides a paper receipt if requested, with Wi-Fi and 4G fallback available for connectivity.
Phone orders around hospital work
A customer working at Royal Stoke University Hospital phones a Hartshill takeaway to arrange a meal collection around their shift. Send a Teya Pay by Link request by text or email for the order. That gives them a remote payment option, rather than requiring payment on the card machine when they arrive.
Collections at a compact counter
A small Trent Vale takeaway needs a contactless payment option without adding another device to its collection counter. Tap to Pay works through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone with no extra hardware. It suits that contactless collection situation while leaving the available counter space for handing over packaged food.

Questions from Stoke-on-Trent takeaways
Can our Hartshill takeaway send payment requests for telephone orders?
Yes. Pay by Link supports phone orders through a link sent by text or email, or a QR code. For customers arranging collections around work at Royal Stoke University Hospital, it means payment can be requested separately from the handover at your counter.
Do we need a separate reader for contactless collections in Trent Vale?
Not if you use Tap to Pay. It takes contactless payments on an iPhone or Android phone through the Teya app, without extra hardware. If your Trent Vale takeaway also needs chip and PIN or printed receipts, Teya Pro provides those options.
