Sonic
1 open jobGeneral information
Sonic is an American drive-in fast-food chain, where customers can order and eat right at their parking spot. It serves hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken sandwiches, plus frozen treats such as milkshakes and ice cream. The chain runs more than 3,400 locations. It is based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Sonic was founded in 1953 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, by Troy N. Smith Sr. Since 2018, it has been owned by Inspire Brands, which paid 2.3 billion dollars for the chain. System-wide sales reached 5.2 billion dollars in 2026. Being owned by a large restaurant group can mean shared systems and support with Inspire's other chains, which can affect how each Sonic location is run. Sonic is an H-1B sponsor.1
