After being asked to open a bar by a friend, he initially declined. But when he discovered the potential of self-serve technology to revolutionize the bar industry and eliminate many operational challenges, he jumped at the opportunity."Once I saw a little more of the technology, I realized that it eliminated 95% of the bar owner's headaches, so I dove into it and started to really understand it,” said Moyer. “I saw there was potential to bring it to Charlotte, North Carolina, and have the first self-serve location in the city.”&nbsp;During the interview, Moyer provided insights into the challenges and opportunities that come from introducing disruptive technology into traditional industries like hospitality. He also stressed the importance of cultivating a supportive network and described how Hoppin’ has allowed him to help others.&nbsp;“The ability to help other other successful people that want to start their own business, but want a little bit more structure, is more rewarding to me than making millions,” said Moyer. “So there's a lot more rewarding aspects of doing what I do now. And I have the ability to do the things that are more important to me, which is build a team, build a culture and create a brand that can also help other people across the country. And those are the things that, when I die, I want people to remember me for.”&nbsp;You can watch and listen to the entire interview above, or on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPNpWikziiM&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=meet-the-zor-hoppin-brands-founder-and-ceo-rich-moyer-2725829" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a>.&nbsp;
