Haller originally worked at Pensacola Restaurant Supply, or Penko, co-owned by his father-in-law, Norman, until his death in 1990, until 2002, when an economic downturn forced Norman's brother, Oscar to let go about half of his employees. Among these were Haller and sister-in-law Marcy Friedman. Michael Friedman also left the business at this time, but was not let go.

Haller eventually founded Richard Haller Food Service Equipment and Supplies. He took a few Penko employees with him, including brother-in-law Michael for a period time.

He is a member of B'nai Israel Synagogue, where his sister-in-law, Marcy, is treasurer.

His children have all gone through Pensacola High School's rigorous International Baccalaureate program, except for Noah, who dropped out of it after his sophomore year to go to Booker T. Washington High School. He later ceased enrollment at that school to be home-schooled and dual-enrolled at Pensacola Junior College for his senior year.
