MASTER SEAL CRAFT
Field Sales & Service Specialist — Restaurant & Foodservice East Bay | Full-Time, W-2 | Field-Based | $100,000+ Target Compensation Apply to: https://mastersealcraftcrm.com/careers You know this industry. The people, the pace, the kitchens, the buzz of a room running well — that's in your blood. The closing shifts, the weekends, the holidays, the call when someone doesn't show — those you could live without. Keep everything you love about food and beverage. Trade the rest for daytime hours, a territory of your own, and income that compounds. Master Seal Craft is hiring a Field Sales & Service Specialist for the East Bay, and we're looking specifically for someone who has run a kitchen or managed a restaurant and is ready to step off the floor — without stepping out of the industry.
THE SHORT VERSION
- Base $2,500-$3,500/month + uncapped commission. Target $100K+.
- Daytime hours, predictable weeks, recurring revenue based on great service.
- Your own territory: East Bay — Concord/Pleasant Hill/Danville/Livermore
- W-2 with benefits and a direct line to the owner — no middle management.
- No refrigeration, electrical, or heavy mechanical work.
Clean, compact installs — got to be handy.
WHO WE ARE
Master Seal Craft keeps commercial kitchens running. We supply and install refrigeration gaskets, oven seals, and door closers for restaurants, grocers, hotels, hospitals, schools, stadiums, and high-volume fast-food and fast-casual operators. We service the parts most people never think about — until they fail a health inspection. The East Bay packs thousands of restaurants, hotel kitchens, commissaries, hospital cafeterias, and corporate dining rooms — plus tons of local grocery stores. Health inspectors don't often offer a second chance after a bad inspection or a walk-in that won't hold temp. What we do is necessary for a passed inspection.
WHY A RESTAURANT PRO WINS HERE
- You speak the language. You can walk into any kitchen and talk to the owner or GM as a peer, because you've been in their shoes.
- You already have the network. The owners, GMs, chefs, and purveyors you've worked alongside are relationships you can call today. In a market this connected, that's a head start no outsider can buy.
- You already run your life from your phone. Scheduling, POS, vendor texts, inventory — our mobile CRM will feel natural.
- You get the lifestyle upgrade.
Daytime hours. Predictable weeks. The industry you love, on a schedule that loves you back.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Open doors through the relationships you already have, then keep building them referral by referral.
- Prospect in the field — cold calls, walk-ins, and local networking across the East Bay.
- Walk kitchens, spot the doors, seals, and hardware that need attention, and quote on the spot.
- Install what you sell: refrigeration gaskets, oven seals, door closers, and related hardware. No handoffs — you see it from the first conversation to the finished job.
- Run the whole cycle from your phone: visits, photos, quotes, follow-ups, pipeline.
- Grow your book.
Recurring territory revenue is your income engine.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Restaurant operations or management experience — required. (Direct B2B sales into restaurant, grocery, or foodservice counts too.)
- Local relationships across the food-service community.
- Comfort working your territory — you must know the neighborhoods and the restaurants in the area.
- Comfort running your entire workday from a phone.
- The judgment and follow-through of someone who's earned trust from demanding customers.
- Willing to work with your hands and handy with tools in a kitchen environment.
- Valid driver's license, clean record, reliable transportation.
Don't check every box? If you've run a kitchen and you're coachable, we'd still like to talk.
