Sonic is a place that you can come to and you can bring
2
00:00:05.990 --> 00:00:10.210 line:15%
your art and your craft and your education to life.
3
00:00:10.210 --> 00:00:11.210
Me personally I feel like there is
4
00:00:11.210 --> 00:00:14.500 line:15%
a very youthful, energetic atmosphere.
5
00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:16.510
Really where people can come and express themselves
6
00:00:16.510 --> 00:00:17.920
or really be different or unique.
7
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.510 line:15%
I've always been a performer
8
00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:21.930 line:15%
so when I get the chance to do tricks for people
9
00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:24.950
and make them laugh and smile and just make their day,
10
00:00:24.950 --> 00:00:27.770
you get to do so much more than just serve food.
11
00:00:27.770 --> 00:00:30.730
They saw my potential, even potential that
12
00:00:30.730 --> 00:00:33.700 line:15%
I didn't realize that I had and helped challenge
13
00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:37.310 line:15%
and stretch and grow me from a professional standpoint.
14
00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:39.970
The things we're working on are really cool.
15
00:00:39.970 --> 00:00:44.180 line:15%
You have a ecosystem with over 100,000 touchscreens
16
00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:47.760
across the brand and you have an app that can now talk
17
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:50.280
to each individual stall at the store.
18
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.250
And we have a culture that really embraces innovation.
19
00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.040 line:15%
We believe that we can provide the most personalized
20
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:58.930 line:15%
experience across all food service brands.
21
00:00:58.930 --> 00:01:02.260
How does Sonic be Sonic today, tomorrow, and beyond?
22
00:01:02.260 --> 00:01:04.130 line:15%
That's super exciting versus just kind of
23
00:01:04.130 --> 00:01:05.310 line:15%
playing the status quo.
24
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:06.990 line:15%
We're not like everybody else
25
00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:08.760
so we have a compelling story to tell.
26
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.600 line:15%
The entrepreneurial spirit of still being
27
00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:12.007 line:15%
a small company lives today
28
00:01:12.007 --> 00:01:13.250
and I think to get to that you have
29
00:01:13.250 --> 00:01:14.660
to look at where Sonic came from.
30
00:01:14.660 --> 00:01:17.360
Originally we were in small town USA
31
00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:20.210
and most of our Sonics today are in small town USA
32
00:01:20.210 --> 00:01:22.660
where there's a gas station, a stop sign, and a Sonic
33
00:01:22.660 --> 00:01:25.580
in town and that's really the community involvement.
34
00:01:25.580 --> 00:01:26.980
Yeah I think Sonic has become
35
00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:29.169 line:15%
a notable good corporate citizen
36
00:01:29.169 --> 00:01:31.140 line:15%
and I think it's a nice statement for our brand.
37
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.160
Our mission from a philanthropist point
38
00:01:33.160 --> 00:01:35.240 line:15%
is supporting children, arts, and education.
39
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:36.970 line:15%
Everybody feels pretty good just
40
00:01:36.970 --> 00:01:38.110
to be able to give back a little bit.
41
00:01:38.110 --> 00:01:40.580 line:15%
The passion that we have in what we do
42
00:01:40.580 --> 00:01:42.970
is what I think is so different about Sonic
43
00:01:42.970 --> 00:01:44.960
and I always say that Sonic's got it, others don't.
44
00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:46.440
And I think one of the things that Sonic's got
45
00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:48.960
that nobody has is relationships is a way of life
46
00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:50.280
and we live it, we breathe it.
47
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.620 line:15%
In our store we have so many regulars
48
00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:54.530 line:15%
that we're on first name basis with
49
00:01:54.530 --> 00:01:55.940
and it's just really awesome to build
50
00:01:55.940 --> 00:01:57.350
those kinds of relationships that you do.
51
00:01:57.350 --> 00:01:58.183
How are y'all today?
52
00:01:58.183 --> 00:02:00.590
I enjoy making people happy, making people smile.
53
00:02:00.590 --> 00:02:03.680 line:15%
I just, the environment, the vibe is just, it's great.
54
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.660
Having that environment is something that
55
00:02:05.660 --> 00:02:09.100 line:15%
it keeps me really excited to come to work everyday.
56
00:02:09.100 --> 00:02:10.690
It's just everyday that grind
57
00:02:10.690 --> 00:02:12.320
of wanting to try to get better
58
00:02:12.320 --> 00:02:14.680 line:15%
and everybody around me, I feel, is that same way.
59
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.440
They really want to get better and better and better
60
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:18.859
and so why wouldn't you want to be part of that?
61
00:02:18.859 --> 00:02:21.526
(upbeat music)
