There is still a lack of clarity in what you want here, but I'm guessing that you want (immediately following your regression) is
test service = manufacturing = 0
where service and manufacturing are your two dummy variables distinguishing service sector firms and manufacturing sector firms from all others. This will test the null hypothesis that the average outcome is equivalent for all three types of firms.
