Experiences at Sonic Drive-In

There isnt really a secret to getting hired at the one I worked at because the manager would hire anybody that turned in an application.

I did many things at Sonic. When I started, they first started training me on drive thru and fountain at the same time. Which included making drinks and ice cream, using the switchboard, and taking orders. After a few weeks, when I had all of that learned, I started car hopping. There I hopped orders out, took orders, and so on. Eventually I learned to cook on my own time. When I went on breaks, I would have the cooks show me how to make my food and I learned to cook that way. After a year of working, I was asked to become a shift leader. Now I supervise employees, help where assistance is needed, train new employees, count drawers and car hops down, and make deposits....

What I did to get hired was to constantly smile and I was friendly. Even when I got my application and through my interview. Because when you're there working, you have to always be smiling and be friendly. It's part of the job.

At sonic I started out with making drinks and the ice cream. I then progressed to taking the customers' orders and bringing condiments to them. My final stage at sonic was car hopping, which in involved bringing food to the customers and handling money.

My secret to getting hired at Sonic is to come to door with a smile and ask for an application to work there. After you have filled out your application go back to the door with the same smile and let them know you are finished. Most of the time they will tell you they will call you back, but if you flash your prettiest smile, you get an interview right then and there. While the manager is interviewing you, make sure you let them know that you are a people person and you love to interact with everyone. They just love to see people willing to work and have fun while they are doing it....

Eagerness to provide good customer service rapidly, ability to multi-task as servers take orders, serve drinks, cook, deliver orders, and cash handling. Be friendly, courteous, polite, and dedicated.

I worked as a car-hop delivering orders, dealing with customer service and tendering cash and checks.

Behind the scenes, I worked with food and drink preparation, desserts, stocking, cleaning, and taking orders.

Come with a desire to work and show interest in what you applied for. Be corteous and respectful to the General Manager and other workers that you meet when interviewing.

Open, distributed money to carhops, coordinated work schedules, coordinated work assignments, cook, clean, truck order, stocking, power wash, deposits, trained new hires

Being very outgoing, friendly, and enjoy working with people.
