SONIC is continually monitoring this evolving situation and are following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and other health officials to strengthen our already-stringent operational standards.

At all of our Payson locations we continue to implement the following measures:

  • Requiring all team members to wear masks;
  • Requiring all restaurant team members to be certified in food safety;
  • Reinforcing our handwashing policy that requires our team members to wash their hands every 20 minutes and between tasks;
  • Increased cleaning and sanitizing of high touch areas inside and outside the drive-in, including the red button and our digital touchscreens;
  • Conducting wellness checks with each team member before beginning their shift. Any member of the team who is not feeling well is asked to stay home;
  • Reminding team members and guests of contactless ordering and payment options through our mobile app and third-party delivery services.

SONIC is unlike other restaurants: we’re primarily a drive-in where guests can pull into a stall and order or use the drive-thru.
