Card machines for visitor businesses in Kent Coast
Kent Coast is known for Margate's Turner-era revival, Whitstable oysters and the Thanet beaches. We set Teya card machines up for oyster bars and seafood shacks, independent galleries and vintage retail, beach cafés, boutique guest houses across Margate Old Town, Whitstable Harbour, Broadstairs and the rest of the Kent, South East visitor economy — and we handle the application for you.
A long London-day-tripper season from Easter to late September, with Whitstable Oyster Festival and Margate weekends creating the sharpest peaks.
Overwhelmingly domestic day-trippers off the high-speed line from London, with very high contactless and phone-wallet use and low average tickets.
The problem here
Harbour Arm and beachfront pitches trade outdoors with no fixed line, and a hot Saturday can put a week's takings through in six hours.
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.
