Weekend Carhop

Looking for a way to apply that boundless enthusiasm you wake up with every morning? We can help. At SONIC, you get great pay, flexible hours and a cool uniform—while doing the job you love.

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.

As a SONIC Drive‑In Carhop, your primary responsibility is to provide every guest with a SuperSONIC experience by:

Being a menu genius and helping SONIC customers navigate all customizable combinations

Being empowered to resolve customer concerns, guaranteeing every guest leaves satisfied

Maintaining SONIC safety and sanitation standards

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.

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

Team mentality and willingness to help where needed

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

Friendly and smiling faces that enjoy providing courteous service to our restaurant guests!

Sure, classic cars and vintage threads may be things of the past, but the Sonic Drive‑In experience will always be groovy, right on, awesome, wicked, fab, the bee’s knees, cruisin’ . . . you get the picture! SONIC and its independent franchise owners are Equal Opportunity Employers.

Whether you’re coming for a Cherry Limeade on your lunch break or picking up Shakes with your team after a big win, we’re ready for you. That’s why our drive‑in makes your burgers with 100% pure beef patties, prepares hand‑made onion rings, and serves real ice cream.
