Local guide
Running a restaurant in Swansea
Restaurant trade in Swansea draws on both its coastal setting and its food traditions. SA1 Waterfront is an area for living, dining and leisure, while Mumbles combines restaurants with a Victorian pier and independent shops. Cockles, laverbread and salt marsh lamb from the Loughor estuary give menus a distinctly regional starting point. Seafront weekends can bring visiting diners alongside residents, making table sizes and service patterns different from a quieter weekday.
That mix calls for payments at the table, shared bills and a way to collect deposits before a booking. Teya Pro supports Split Bill by equal shares or custom amounts, plus tipping on screen and printed receipts. For staff moving between tables, pocket-sized Teya Lite takes payments without a printer and provides digital receipts. Pay by Link lets you send a deposit request by text or email before guests arrive for their meal.
Shared dinner on the waterfront
A group finishing dinner at an SA1 Waterfront restaurant wants to pay separately, with some sharing dishes and others covering their own choices. Teya Pro supports custom amounts through Split Bill, or an even split if they prefer. Staff can also present on-screen tipping and print receipts at the table.
Seafront tables fill at weekends
A Mumbles restaurant has visiting families arriving while other tables are ready to leave. Carrying pocket-sized Teya Lite lets staff take payments where guests are sitting rather than directing everyone to the counter. It has Wi-Fi and 4G, with digital receipts for diners who want a record of their meal.
Deposits for a coastal gathering
A party planning a meal after exploring the Gower Peninsula wants to confirm its restaurant booking before travelling. Send a deposit request using Pay by Link by text or email. The organiser can receive the link without visiting the restaurant, while staff can view transactions in the Teya app and portal.

Questions from Swansea restaurants
Can we split restaurant bills for groups visiting Mumbles?
Yes. Teya Pro supports Split Bill evenly or by custom amounts, useful when a Mumbles table includes separate households or diners sharing dishes. It also supports on-screen tipping and has a built-in printer for guests who want a paper receipt.
How can an SA1 Waterfront restaurant take booking deposits?
Use Pay by Link to send a deposit request by text, email or QR code. That suits an SA1 Waterfront restaurant arranging a group meal remotely. Sales and transactions can be viewed in the Teya app and portal, where staff can also be set up.
Do you set up restaurants in Uplands, Mumbles and the Kingsway?
Yes. We quote for restaurants anywhere in Swansea, including Uplands, Mumbles and the Kingsway, and across Wales. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a restaurant near Swansea, in Neath. Can you help?
Yes. We also help restaurants in nearby places such as Neath, Llanelli and Porthcawl. 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.
