Experience economy
Visitor attractions & heritage sites
Attractions take money in several places at once — admissions, gift shop, café, guided tours, donations — often across a large site with old buildings and thick walls. The payments setup has to cover all of it without a comms cabinet in every wing.
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.
Multiple till points across a large or listed site
Multiple Teya terminals on one account with consolidated reporting, so admissions, retail and catering all settle into the same Business Account.
Admission queues at opening time and coach arrivals
Fast contactless plus roaming Teya Pro terminals so staff can sell tickets in the car park or the queue itself.
Thick stone walls and no cabling for fixed terminals
4G-connected portable terminals with 14+ hours of battery — no cabling, no new network points in a listed building.
Seasonal opening and school-holiday spikes
No long tie-in games: Teya pricing is transparent, and funding is repaid from card sales rather than fixed monthly amounts.
