I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sonic (Schertz, TX)
Interview
They just ask that you apply online now but you still must bring in your valid Food Handlers, a photo ID and SS card to the store. I was asked by the GM a few questions and then given a shirt, apron, name tag and hat. We agreed on a day/time for me to come in and when I did, I stayed inside until I memorized the "board". After a few days of that, I shadowed a fellow carhop for one day then was left on my own.
The process was a very simple and friendly interview. Very professional for a fast food chain. Would recommend for a high school student or a recent graduate looking to start making money.
Quick and simple. Simply apply online for the location you want to work in. When they are hiring, they call you back rather quick. Go for the interview and it's easy.
