Cornwall is known for the county-wide surf, harbour and beach economy from Padstow to the Lizard. We set Teya card machines up for harbourside restaurants, beach bars, self-catering, fishing trips, ice cream kiosks across Padstow, Port Isaac, Falmouth and the rest of the South West England visitor economy — and we handle the application for you.
Cornwall trades roughly twenty weeks and pays overheads for fifty-two, so summer cash flow has to fund the winter.
Predominantly UK holidaymakers with a heavy Apple Pay share, plus significant overseas trade in Falmouth and St Ives.
The problem here
Harbour walls and cove kiosks have poor fixed connectivity, and takings tied up for three working days in August create a genuine cash-flow squeeze.
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.
