Taking card payments in Liverpool.
The food hygiene register lists 462 restaurants and cafés, 266 takeaways and 236 pubs, bars and nightclubs across L1, L3, L8 and L4. That’s where most of the card machines in Liverpool are, and what we’d spec for.
What’s on the register
Across L1, L3, L8 and L4, the Food Standards Agency register counts 1,723 food businesses: 462 restaurants and cafés; 266 takeaways; 236 pubs, bars and nightclubs; 357 shops and other retailers; 43 mobile caterers; 52 hotels and B&Bs; 35 supermarkets. Counted from the register’s extract of 26 Oct 2026, with no names or ratings kept.
Where the trade is
Ropewalks, between Hanover Street and Roscoe Street behind Bold Street, is the city centre's district of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and night-time venues, with Concert Square one of the main areas for outdoor drinking and nightlife since the 1990s.2 Bold Street is the focus of the centre's independent shops and services; the main retail area is Liverpool One, Church Street, Lord Street and the centres around Williamson Square, and about 9,300 people work in city-centre retail.3 The Baltic Triangle, a former warehouse district between Liverpool One and the south docks, had more than 500 businesses by 2020, with independent markets, beer gardens, music venues and studios.4 In 2022 the Liverpool BID company counted 78 million visits to the city centre, with 6pm the busiest hour, Saturday the busiest day and October the busiest month.5
When the room is full
On Square: Square Terminal, Register and Handheld keep taking payments offline and upload them when the connection returns, within 24 hours to be safe. Contactless cards need a connection, phone wallets don’t. For trading away from Wi-Fi we fit a Shift4 One card machine with its own SIM card, which works on mobile data.

Do you come out to Liverpool?
Not usually, and we’ll say so rather than pretend otherwise. In-person fitting is the East Midlands. Everywhere else we ship the hardware, build the account and menu before it lands, and set it up with you over the phone or video.
How fast can I be taking payments in Liverpool?
Once your account is approved, square kit usually arrives the next working day. already set up with your menu or products. Allow about three working days from first call to first sale.
