Asaad Scott - Atticus Sonic Supervisor
I had my first opportunity managing when I was 17 years old. And right from the start I knew this was my destiney, not necessarily restaurants or even food but simply being an impact on people’s life. I'm a firm believer in the universe and what you put out is what you get back and I always want to put love, peace ,acceptance , hard work, and understanding to the forefront. In my spare time I like to workout and learn things about history. I’m easy going and always willing and ready to meet new people to accomplish the impossible.

Sonic Drive-In History - From The Beginning
SONIC: An American Tradition Still On The Go
SONIC Drive-In Carhops have been serving up beloved American food and signature SONIC favorites at "the speed of sound" since 1953.
SONIC is parked in a very prominent place in the annals of drive-in history. Not only did we develop innovations in the drive-in concept, but we are one of the few remaining drive-in chains left in America. In an industry overwrought with automation, SONIC keeps the personal touch. Carhops still deliver food prepared-to-order right to your car.
We still make the best burgers and malts, plus signature goodies like Extra-Long Cheese Coneys and Chocolate Cream Pie Shakes. Our appeal doesn't necessarily hail from the past, but from an energy and personality that has thrived by surprising and delighting generations of Americans. Learn more about our trip to the top right here.
Company Overview:
Considered the most differentiated concept in the QSR industry, Sonic has more than 3,500 drive-ins coast to coast, of which 80 percent are franchised. Sonic, America’s Drive-In, originally began in 1953 as Top Hat Drive-In, a hamburger and root beer stand in Shawnee, Okla. and then changed its name to Sonic in 1959. The first drive-in to adopt the Sonic name is still serving customers in Stillwater, Okla. Every day, more than a million customers enjoy Sonic’s food and specialty drinks.
Positive same store sales growth for 21 straight years and a five year average of 15% annual earnings growth are among a few of the mouth watering reasons to invest in America’s largest drive-in chain.
The Sonic Difference:
What makes SONIC different from other franchise opportunities? A big part of the SONIC difference is the belief that "owners make better operators." In fact, SONIC franchisees enjoy one of the most successful businesses and one of the lowest turnover ratios in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) franchise industry, with unparalleled opportunities for personal success.
Satisfied customers are one of the best measures of a company's success, and SONIC maintains one of the highest customer frequency rates in the industry.
Of course, the SONIC Drive-In itself makes a huge difference. Here are just a few ways:
Drive-In Concept
Customers can park their cars and order without waiting in a busy drive-thru line.
Convenience
Customers order from their cars. There's no need to walk up to the counter thanks to the intercom, and the canopy provides shade and weather protection.
Great Service
Carhops deliver food straight to every customer's car.
Great Food
Hot, fresh food is made-to-order and whatever way customers want it—with extra jalapeños, pickles, chili, etc.

Fountain Favorites® Drinks

Frozen Favorites® Desserts
Many customers specifically drive to SONIC for a Banana Split or one of our Premi-YUM!® Cream Pie Shakes, Floats, CreamSlush® treats and SONIC Blast® soft-serve desserts.
Most of SONIC's new menu creations are pioneered by entrepreneurial franchisees. This was the case with SONIC's highly successful Frozen Favorites® dessert menu expansion in 1996. This spirit of cooperation has only been reinforced by the success it has afforded all of us.
Commitments to our Valuable Georgia Communities
Only the best in community efforts
Our Community Mindset:
Your local SONIC Drive-In operators don't consider community involvement a sales gimmick or a public relations ploy. They see it as a way to be a good neighbor, and as a way to have a positive impact on their community. Their efforts may include awards to encourage young kids to read and incentives to keep older kids in school. They also provide opportunities for fundraisers for school projects or other means of assistance for events in your community.
Please feel free to contact the manager of your local SONIC Drive-In to find out what programs he or she is supporting. While budget limitations make it impossible to support every worthy cause, your local SONIC is interested in learning about the work of your organization. Many local drive-ins have fundraising activities available. Please contact the manager of your local SONIC for information.
