SONIC Drive-In

SONIC is an amazing company founded by a man with true entrepreneurial spirit. Troy Smith, Sr. took a root beer stand on the outskirts of Shawnee and added controlled parking, canopies, music, carhops and an innovative system for ordering food over an intercom speaker system. He formed the first of many partnerships that would define a formula for success - shared responsibility and shared profits.

Today, that formula is still at the heart of a dynamic chain of over 3600 restaurants in the United States.

The fundamental core value have been carried forward by subsequent generations of entrepreneurs, operators, crew members and partners. We call ourselves SONIC family.

Additional Culture Details

SONIC's culture is unique! By design, we seek and attract a different kind of employee than most companies, because we encourage the same creative, free-wheeling, fun-loving passion here in the office as we do on our roller-skating front lines.

Innovation and personal expression allow our people to accomplish more – for the company and for themselves. At SONIC, we passionately believe that work should be something you look forward to, hungrily. We practice that belief from the top down, from the bottom up. And it shows.

SONIC has a competitive, driven, fast-paced, fun, energetic culture with a family feel. We believe in inclusion, diversity and encourage each other to succeed. We always strive for the best. At SONIC, you can see your ideas and work come to life!
