Responsibilities include working across various stations such as Fountain & Frozen treats, Food Production, Grill, Fryer, Switchboard, and Drive-Thru if applicable. This variety ensures that no two days are the same, keeping the work engaging and interesting.
Restaurant Team Members at SONIC are expected to provide enthusiastic food service to guests, accurately take and process orders quickly, prepare and package food items ensuring quality and consistency, and maintain cleanliness across the restaurant including dishwashing, mopping, sweeping, and sanitizing food areas.
