Experience economy
City centre bars, cafés & restaurants
Urban hospitality lives on speed of service, tips and Friday night volume. A slow terminal at the bar costs more than any monthly fee ever will.
The problems — and how Teya solves them
Everything below is a real trading problem we hear from operators in this sector, with the Teya feature that answers it.
Bar queues at peak trading hours
Teya Pro is built for quick contactless, chip & PIN and mobile wallet payments.
Tips going to the wrong place
Built-in tipping prompts on the terminal, with tips visible in reporting.
Late-night takings sitting with a provider all weekend
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.
Multiple sites with inconsistent pricing
One account structure across sites, consistent rates and a named contact for the group — no per-venue renegotiation.
