Secondary Schools 

While our Group Deals do not offer the full SONIC menu, this program focuses on convenience and savings for large groups! Maybe you’re feeding the band or a sports team at an away game or planning a staff appreciation surprise for school staff. Whatever the occasion, we make it easy to plan and save money!

While the discount on drinks ordered through the SONIC app and our Group Drink Deal is the same, our Group Meal Deal offers discounts available exclusively to our Community Partners though!

There are some advantages exclusive to our Group Deals listed below!

When ordering through the app:

- At this time, drink orders through the app cannot exceed $75.

- For food and drinks, tax exemption cannot be applied or cannot be adjusted after payment has been made through the app.

- You will be subject to normal wait times that accommodate for any customers present on lot when ordering through the app.

When ordering through our Group Deal:

-*Drinks can be individually labeled with the recipients’ names and orders!

-Our discounts offered on our Group Meals are not available through the app.

-Food and/or drinks are prioritized for your coordinated pick-up time! At the time of pick-up, all you need to do is pay and our crew will help you load up!

*Drinks are only individually labeled when individuals select their preferred drinks when ordering.

Our provided order forms ensure that all necessary information is collected for each Group Deal.

With our Group Drink Deal, this not only helps us, but also you! The information collected allows us to generate labels for each drink (for individually ordered drinks only) making distribution easier for you!

Many people assume that our full menu is available through our Group Deals, but unfortunately this is not the case. The provided order forms will only feature available items and options, keeping your total cost to an expected amount.

For health and safety reasons, we require that our provided order forms are used so that it is clearly indicated which of our products are diet and/or sugar free. This also prevents requests for products that are no longer offered on our menu.

For large orders, it can be a challenge to get them made while keeping things running smoothly! By providing a minimum of 3 days notice, we are able to coordinate with your nearest participating SONIC location to ensure that they can fulfill your order while providing excellent customer service.

While large orders can be made on the same day, this will be done through the SONIC app or on lot instead. The order will not be eligible for the featured discount and will not be prioritized for a scheduled pick-up. There is also no guarantee that enough product will be available to accommodate the large order.

As our program has developed, we have balanced the needs of both our community partners and stores. All around the nation, food costs have been on the rise, as is reflected in our prices.

With our Group Drink Deal, many community partners provided thoughtful feedback that emphasized the importance of tax exemption reflecting on tickets for accounting purposes instead of lower totals that included sales tax. To improve this program, we have adjusted the discount offered to incorporate tax exemption for all.

All awards include a free small slush for the recipient!

Yes! SONIC values community and education and our Banquet Awards and Recognition Certificates are a way for us to give back! Extra curriculars are an incredibly valuable part of the school experience and these awards are a great no-cost way for student-led organizations to recognize involvement, leadership and achievements so funding can further support programming.

Each secondary organization (through boosters, faculty sponsors or leadership affiliated with the group) is allotted 50 awards per academic year*. Multiple teams/UIL groups from one school can place an order within an academic year, however, a single team/UIL group may not order multiple times within the year.

*If an organization has already ordered the allotted number of awards for the year and another order is requested, they will be notified. The maximum allotment of awards can be issued once per academic year.

Due to high demand, only a limited quantity of awards can be provided for this program to be sustained. While the use of the awards is to be determined by each group ordering, we recommend they are used as specialized awards rather than recognition of general participation to limit the number required.

Awards will be sent directly to school campuses. Orders will not be fulfilled if the address provided is residential. Rush requests will not be honored.

Awards will take up to 3-4 weeks to arrive after orders are submitted*.  We recommend planning ahead with enough time for mailing if coordinating these for an end of year/season banquet.

*Orders placed in July will not process until August and orders placed in December will not process until January due to school closures.

Awards ordered July-November will expire on 1/31. Awards ordered December-May will expire on 6/30.
