I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sonic (Spring, TX) in May 2013
Interview
Store manager gave a really quick personality interview over the phone. The manager wasn't rude but didn't want his time wasted so he worked the the interview quickly. Overall pretty quick and not a lot of hassle. Was for a summer job while I took classes a CC, the manager didn't seem to mind too much.

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.
