Carhop or Skating 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. 

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!"
