Every Restaurant Owner Should Hear This

Gary Norris, CEO of Norris Ventures

Gary’s first entrepreneurial endeavor came in his early 20’s; growing a car and marine detailing business from a couple of buckets and some rags, to a thriving company outfitted with a fleet of trucks and enough equipment to service 3-states. From that day to this, Gary has not lost his passion for taking ideas and putting them into action, whether it be for himself or someone else. In 2013, he created and launched Thrive, a finance system and software product to benefit healthcare patients without insurance. In 2015, this system was recognized as the runner up in the North Carolina Edison Project. After that experience, Gary was presented with many opportunities to teach and mentor other entrepreneurs and from that continued momentum, Norris Ventures was born. Selling Thrive in 2017, Gary made Norris Ventures his primary focus and finally, he was able to devote 100% of his time to helping businesses grow and reach their potential, which for him, is living his dream. His other passions include writing books, playing his guitar and working on his 13-acre farm.

Joe Nazario, Managing Partner of DPS Card Solutions

In 2008, Joe Nazario, a former business owner, began his mission helping merchants in North Carolina get the best possible rate, and fit for their payment processing solutions.

DPS acts as a Broker, working with several processors over multiple platforms. We provide point-of-sale systems, mobile devices, virtual terminals, eCommerce accounts and many features catering to the most specific needs.

We are not a processing company, we are advocates for business owners, providing choices, flexibility, and competitive rates. We are with our customers every step of the way, from the initial set up, to building long lasting relationships. We conduct face-to-face courtesy visits, provide on-site assistance, along with a direct line to your local Rep.

DPS wants merchants to focus on their business and not waste unnecessary time, energy and money.

Our customers’ referrals and loyalty are the driving force of our growing success, this is not something we take lightly. Our soon to launch "Promote and Grow" campaign allows us to give back to our merchants through various ways of promoting and advertising their business.
