Outside Sales Representative – Restaurant Industry | Kitchen Guard of New Haven/Hartford$50,000 Base + Uncapped Commission | $80K–$100K Expected First-Year Earnings
Sell a service every restaurant is required to have.
Kitchen Guard is looking for a driven outside sales rep to build our territory across New Haven and Hartford. Fire code requires every commercial kitchen to keep its hood and exhaust system inspected and cleaned, so you’re not convincing anyone they need the service. You’re showing them why Kitchen Guard is the right choice.
If you’ve sold to restaurants (food distribution, restaurant supply, equipment) or sold door to door (solar, pest control, security), you already have what it takes.
No hood or fire safety experience needed. We’ll train you.
This is not a desk job. You’ll be in restaurants talking with owners and managers, and
up on ladders and rooftops inspecting exhaust fans and ductwork so you can show customers exactly what their system needs. If you like being active, working with your hands, and closing deals, you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll do:
- Prospect restaurants, cafeterias, and commercial kitchens in person and by phone
- Climb ladders and access rooftops to inspect hoods, ductwork, and exhaust fans
- Explain findings in plain language and recommend the right service plan
- Prepare quotes and close new accounts
- Build long-term relationships and grow repeat business
- Hit monthly sales goals and help grow a new franchise from the ground up
What we’re looking for:
- B2B, outside, or door-to-door sales experience (restaurant or food-service background a plus)
- Comfortable on A-frame and extension ladders and working on rooftops
- Able to lift 40+ lbs and work in greasy, hot, or dirty environments
- Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- Mechanical curiosity is a big plus
Why Kitchen Guard:
- $50,000 base salary plus uncapped commission ($80K–$100K expected first-year earnings)
- Full product and safety training
- Ground-floor opportunity with a new, growing local franchise
- Backed by Kitchen Guard, an EverSmith brand, serving commercial kitchens since 2009
