Weekend Carhop

SONIC Carhop

As a SONIC Carhop, you are part of an elite group, filling a role offered by no other company. Being a Carhop (aka super cool food server) is like being an astronaut, only you work in a drive-in restaurant instead of space, and the food's way better. You're responsible for serving and delivering that food safely and efficiently, ensuring our guests have a truly out-of-this-world experience at SONIC Drive-In restaurants.

SONIC Carhop/Skating Carhop server duties may include:

Ensuring that all restaurant menu items meet operational standards

Greeting all guests in a polite and friendly manner with a smile

Making accurate change quickly and efficiently for restaurant guests

Carrying and balancing a tray weighing up to 25 pounds

Serving our guests in a timely manner

Clearing trays from our guests' cars

Depending upon the employment practices of the individual SONIC Drive-In restaurant owner, some SONIC Drive-Ins employ Skating Carhop servers:

Skating Carhop servers are unique to the SONIC Drive-In restaurant brand and bring a special "surprise and delight" element to the guest experience.

Skating Carhop servers must complete the SONIC Skating Training Program.

Upon successful completion of this program, Skating Carhops perform the above duties while roller skating.

In the words of one of our Skating Carhop servers:

"From where I'm skating, working at SONIC is a blast and the tips are great too!"

What You'll Need:

Contagiously positive attitude (You are a SONIC Brand Ambassador!)

Ability to remain calm, especially in tough situations

Resilient spirit knowing everyone makes mistakes and can bounce back from a set-back

Eagerness to learn and grow

Team mentality and willingness to help where needed

Effective communication skills; basic math and reading skills

Willingness to work flexible hours; night, weekend, and holiday shifts

The Fine Print:
