Investment and Culture Fit
Capital Requirements
The initial investment for a Gasket Guy distributorship starts at $30,000 depending on size and population of location and territory, then a proportional monthly payment starting at $1,200.
Do You Have the Right Stuff?
Here is a list of typical traits that successful Gasket Guy's possess:
- Experience in the restaurant industry (helpful but not mandatory).
- You know your way around a kitchen but are sick of the long and crazy hours.
- You want to reclaim your weekends and make your own schedule.
- Mechanically inclined – gasket installs are pretty easy but it’s also a great opportunity to solve more of your customer's issues. You’ll want to be able to recognize if your customer also needs a new hinge or emergency release on the walk-in cooler.
- Organized and self-motivated – This is YOUR business and if you want to make the most of it you will need to be on top of your game. Luckily, you have a personal coach to give you that extra push when necessary.

What qualities make a great Gasket Guy Franchise Owner?
- Sales and customer service experience: The key to success is sales, sales, sales, backed by customer service excellence.
- Working knowledge of technology: We use a proprietary Gasket Guy smart App for estimate/order entry, websites, email, and call log. We are committed to making your life easy and paperwork-free!
- Basic mechanical knowledge: This will help you increase your sales with add ons like strip curtains, hinges, door closers, and cutting boards. Remember, we don’t want you out there installing gaskets yourself on your hands and knees. Our business model is built on you having an installer or team of installers for that, but knowing the basics will make you that much more knowledgeable and better able to sell more business.
- Leadership skills: As you know, you will be your own boss and eventually someone else’s boss too!
