Exhibit 10.25

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

        THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into effective
September 10, 2004, by and between Pattye L. Moore, an individual
("Consultant"), and Sonic Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Sonic").

W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, Consultant has been employed by Sonic for 12 years and
currently holds the office of President;

        WHEREAS, Consultant has indicated that it is her desire to cut back on
the number of days that she is working and have more time available for her
family;

        WHEREAS, Sonic desires to respect the wishes of Consultant, but still
wants to have access to her varied talents and expertise;

        WHEREAS, Consultant is agreeable to be available for general consulting
services and special projects; and

        WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth
the terms and conditions of this proposed consulting arrangement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:

        1. Engagement. Sonic hereby agrees to engage Consultant and Consultant
hereby accepts such engagement as a consultant and advisor to Sonic on the terms
and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.

        2. Consulting Services.

          2.1 Services to be Provided. As may be reasonably requested by Sonic
from time to time during the term hereof, Consultant shall assist Sonic with
marketing, advertising, product development, brand and concept development
issues and similar projects and matters, including the proposed retrofit of the
drive-in restaurants, and shall advise and consult with Sonic regarding such
matters (collectively, the “Services”). Consultant agrees to support all Sonic
initiatives and Sonic personnel consistent with the terms of this Agreement and
to use her best efforts to achieve all Sonic initiatives assigned to her.

          2.2 Scope of Authority. This Agreement does not confer upon Consultant
any authority or responsibility to participate in or affect the management and
control of the business affairs of Sonic, except as such affairs may be
incidentally affected by the

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Services provided in accordance with this Agreement. Consultant shall have no
authority or responsibility to enter into any agreement in the name of Sonic or
its subsidiaries or to otherwise bind or obligate Sonic or its subsidiaries in
any manner whatsoever.

          2.3 Extent of Services. Consultant and Sonic agree that Consultant
will be providing the Services during normal business hours from Consultant’s
home or from office facilities provided by Sonic in its corporate offices in
Oklahoma City. Consultant shall communicate and work directly with the Sonic
personnel identified for each project. Subject to applicability of the
“Restrictive Covenants” set forth in paragraph 8, below, Consultant and Sonic
agree that Consultant is not agreeing to provide consulting services exclusively
to Sonic, but Consultant agrees that during the first 12 months of this
Agreement that she will not consult with or otherwise conduct business with the
following competitors of Sonic: McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Hardees/Carl’s
Jr., Jack in the Box, WhataBurger, In-n-Out Burger, Checker’s, Rally’s, Dairy
Queen, A&W, Chick-Fil-A or other regional restaurant chains with a similar
competitive set of product offerings as these national and international chains
(the “Restricted Competitors”). Consultant will be permitted to consult with and
conduct business with other “QSR” restaurant chains, as that term is generally
defined in the restaurant industry, that are not among the Restricted
Competitors, and other restaurant chains not defined as QSR. Consultant will not
be limited regarding with whom she may enter into public speaking engagements on
matters not confidential or proprietary to Sonic. During the second 12 months of
the term of this Agreement Consultant agrees to comply with the “Restrictive
Covenant” defined in paragraph 8.2 of her current Employment Agreement.
Consultant acknowledges that in her continuing role as a member of the board of
directors of Sonic as described in paragraph 5, below, she will have a fiduciary
duty to Sonic and will continue to be subject to Sonic’s Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”). Pursuant to the Code, Consultant would be
required as a director to identify any services she proposes to provide or
engagements with other competitive QSR companies, vendors, suppliers and
contractors of Sonic and obtain approval prior to providing such services, but
such approval would not be unreasonably withheld. Consultant is specifically
permitted to provide consulting services to Sonic franchisees on matters not
confidential or proprietary to Sonic, and not otherwise in conflict with this
Agreement. Consultant shall use her best efforts to accomplish all requirements
of Consultant under this Agreement; provided, Consultant and Sonic agree that
Consultant need only devote such time in the performance of the Services as is
reasonably requested by Sonic and, in Consultant’s reasonable judgment, is
necessary and appropriate for the Services to be provided in a professional
manner. In no event will Sonic require Consultant to work more than ten days per
month during the first six months of this agreement (November 1, 2004 – April
30, 2005), not more than eight days per month during the second six months of
the Agreement (May 1, 2005 – October 31, 2005), not more than six days per month
during the third six months of the Agreement (November 1, 2005 – April 30, 2006)
and not more than four days per month during the last six months of this
agreement (May 1, 2006 – October 31, 2006). Consultant acknowledges that a
certain amount of travel will be required in the providing of the Services and
accepts such travel as a condition of this Agreement. Sonic agrees to be
reasonable in requesting such travel and will provide as much notice of any
required travel as far in advance as reasonably possible. Sonic will

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  pay directly or reimburse Consultant for all travel related expenses in
accordance with paragraph 4.2, below.

        3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of two (2)
years, commencing upon November 1, 2004, and ending on October 31, 2006, unless
sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement (the “Term”).

        4. Compensation.

          4.1 Consulting Fee. As compensation for the Services, Consultant shall
receive a monthly retainer in the amount of $15,000.00 per month during the Term
(the “Consulting Fee”) payable in arrears on a monthly basis. It is acknowledged
by Consultant and Sonic that the Services to be provided hereunder and the
compensation set forth herein is not considered a per diem amount and that the
Consulting Fee is based in part on Consultant’s agreement to be readily
available to provide the Services to Sonic on a timely basis and to withhold
such services from competitors during the term of this Agreement. Consultant
shall receive full payment of the Consulting Fee whether or not, or to what
extent, Sonic makes use of her Services in any given month or other time period
of this Agreement as long as she does not breach this Agreement as provided
herein.

          4.2 Expense Reimbursement. Sonic agrees to pay the reasonable and
direct expenses actually incurred by Consultant in providing the Services,
provided such expenses are pre-approved in writing by Sonic.

          4.3 Benefits. Consultant shall not be entitled or qualified for
coverage under any benefits package available to employees of Sonic or its
subsidiaries.

          4.4 Taxes. Consultant assumes full responsibility for the reporting
and payment of workers’ compensation insurance, if required, and all social
security, withholding, unemployment compensation, and other applicable taxes
under federal, state and local laws, which are assessable against Consultant’s
compensation under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to indemnify Sonic against
any charges, taxes, penalties and interest assessed against Sonic by any taxing
authority arising from Consultant’s failure to comply with this Section 4.4.

        5. Continuation of Current Employment. Sonic and Consultant agree that
as a condition precedent to this Agreement becoming effective, Consultant will
continue to serve in her current position as President of Sonic through October
31, 2004. Effective October 31, 2004, Consultant’s employment with Sonic,
provided Sonic has complied with its obligations under Consultant’s Employment
Agreement and under this Agreement between the date of this Agreement and
October 31, 2004, will terminate and Consultant will be deemed to have resigned
as President of Sonic. Consultant agrees to resign from all other positions,
offices and directorships of Sonic and it’s subsidiaries, and this agreement
will serve as all applicable resignations effective October 31, 2004, unless
otherwise requested in the discretion of Sonic prior to such date.
Notwithstanding the preceding, Consultant agrees to separately resign from

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Sonic board of directors on a date to be determined by Sonic and she will be
re-appointed to the board of directors for a term that will run from her
appointment until the annual meeting of the shareholders of Sonic in January
2006. Consultant will not receive separate compensation for her service on the
Sonic board of directors, but all of her expenses incurred in performing her
duties on the board will be reimbursed pursuant to paragraph 4.2, above. From
the date of this Agreement until October 31, 2004, Consultant will continue to
perform all services currently performed and will continue to have all rights
and privileges provided for under the terms of her Employment Agreement dated
August 20, 1996 (“Employment Agreement”), including participation in any bonus
amounts approved by the Board of Directors of Sonic and distributed to the
officers of Sonic for fiscal year 2004 performance. Sonic and Consultant agree
that all customary matters associated with the termination of employment such as
health and dental benefits, life insurance, disability insurance, rights under
COBRA, vacation pay, exercise and expiration of stock options and return of
Sonic property will be addressed in the normal course of business prior to
October 31, 2004.

        6. Sale of Sonic Common Stock. Consultant understands that because of
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) and federal securities laws, she cannot sell Sonic common stock or
exercise Sonic stock options until after the expiration of any applicable
black-out periods associated with an announcement of this Agreement, or during
any other black-out periods as may be implemented from time to time in the
normal course of business of Sonic during the remaining time of her employment
by Sonic. Consultant agrees to fully comply with all securities laws regarding
the sale of Sonic common stock while she is an “insider” as defined in the rules
and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Consultant further acknowledges that in
providing the Services contemplated hereunder she may have access to highly
confidential inside information and may continue to be deemed an “insider”
during the term of this Agreement. Upon request of Consultant, Sonic’s Legal
Department will provide Consultant with advice regarding these matters.

        7. Release and Covenant Not to Sue Sonic. In consideration of the terms
and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the entering into a new business
relationship with Sonic, you agree not to sue and irrevocably release and
forever discharge Sonic and it’s subsidiaries, including their respective
stockholders, directors, officers, and employees, from any and all claims and
causes of action of any kind whatsoever, including any under your Employment
Agreement, that may have occurred or accrued in your favor as of the later of
the effective date of this Agreement or your last day of employment as an
employee of Sonic and that you may have the right to pursue in any federal,
state, or local court or administrative proceeding or in arbitration. In
addition, you agree that you will not file or pursue any legal action,
complaint, or administrative proceeding against any of the foregoing entities or
persons with regard to any of the claims and causes of action released in this
Agreement. If you breach or attempt to breach your release, you agree to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each party that you have released in this
Agreement who is damaged by your breach or attempted breach. You also agree that
each released party damaged by your breach or attempted breach will be entitled
to recover from you all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred
in enforcing this Agreement. However, your release does not extend to nor
include any workers’ compensation claims that you might have the right to file.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        8. Restrictive Covenants.

          8.1 Confidentiality. Because of your role as President of Sonic and
your access to and participation in various employment, administrative,
marketing, advertising, development, restaurant operations and sales meetings,
plans, and projects related to Sonic and it’s subsidiaries, you acknowledge the
sensitive and trade secret nature of this information and your continuing duty
not to disclose any of such information to anyone outside of Sonic during this
Agreement and after your employment. Furthermore, you acknowledge that you have
no interest whatsoever in the unique, proprietary, and confidential information
of Sonic and it’s subsidiaries, consisting of: (a) methods and procedures for
the preparation of food and beverage products; (b) confidential recipes for food
products; (c) distinctive drive-in services and accessories; (d) plans and
specifications for interior and exterior signs, designs, layouts and color
schemes; (e) methods, techniques, formats, systems, specifications, procedures,
information, trade secrets, sales, and advertising and marketing programs,
concepts, strategies, calendars, and promotions; (f) methods of business
operations and management; (g) the identities and locations of Sonic
franchisees, Sonic drive-in restaurants, and suppliers to Sonic franchisees and
drive-in restaurants; and (h) knowledge and experience regarding the operation
and franchising of Sonic drive-in restaurants and the Sonic system; (i)
information pertaining to Sonic’s present and future business plans and
objectives that have not been officially released to the public, and (j) other
non-public information regarding Sonic and it’s subsidiaries and its corporate
activities, functions, equipment, procedures, programs, contracts, and future
plans (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). You acknowledge that the
Confidential Information constitutes the proprietary information and trade
secrets belonging to Sonic and that the use or duplication of the Confidential
Information would constitute the misappropriation of trade secrets and unfair
competition. You must maintain the absolute confidentiality of the Confidential
Information and may not disclose or divulge the Confidential Information to any
unauthorized person or entity. Furthermore, you must not use the Confidential
Information in any business or capacity or for the benefit of any person or
entity or to the detriment of Sonic.

  Further, during the term of this Agreement, Consultant will continue to
maintain in confidence and not intentionally use to the material detriment of
Sonic such Confidential Information obtained during the term of this Agreement
or from the transactions contemplated under this Agreement going forward, unless
(a) such information is already known to others not bound by a duty of
confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault
of Consultant, or (b) the furnishing or use of such information is required by
or necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.

          8.2 Non-Interference with Business Relations. During Consultant’s term
of service as an independent contractor for Sonic, Consultant will not engage in
or become employed by or act on behalf of any other person, corporation or firm
which is engaged in any business competitive with that of Sonic or its
subsidiaries, or franchised Sonic drive-in restaurants, unless such contract has
been approved by Sonic in writing. Consultant agrees, that during her service as
an independent contractor and for a period

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  of one (1) year thereafter, Consultant will not, without the prior written
approval of Sonic, directly or indirectly through any other person, firm, or
corporation, whether individually or in conjunction with any other person, or as
an employee, agent, representative, independent contractor, partner, or holder
of any interest in any other person, firm, corporation or other association:

(i)         encourage, entice, induce, solicit or influence, directly or
indirectly, any employee, customer, client, supplier, or other person or entity
having a business relationship with Sonic or its subsidiaries, or franchised
Sonic drive-in restaurants, to terminate or alter such business relationships to
the disadvantage of Sonic or its subsidiaries, or franchised Sonic drive-in
restaurants, or

(ii)         encourage, entice, induce, solicit or influence, directly or
indirectly, any person or entity not to enter into a business relationship with
Sonic or its subsidiaries, or franchised Sonic drive-in restaurants, or impair
or attempt to impair any relationships between Sonic or its subsidiaries, or
franchised Sonic drive-in restaurants, and any of their respective employees,
customers, clients, suppliers, or other persons or entities with whom any of
them has business relationships.

          Consultant acknowledges and agrees that:

(i)         the restrictions under this Agreement are reasonable in light of
Sonic and its subsidiaries, and its franchised Sonic drive-in restaurants,
significant business interests; and

(ii)         Consultant acknowledges that she has received sufficient
consideration to support these obligations under this Agreement.

          8.3 Enforcement. The parties acknowledge that the terms of this
Section 8 and the restrictive covenants contained in Section 2.3, “Extent of
Services” above, are essential to Sonic entering into this Agreement and that
the enforcement of such terms is essential to the use and enjoyment of the
consideration bargained for by Sonic in this Agreement. If any part of Sections
8 or 2.3 should for any reason be determined to be unenforceable, but would be
valid and enforceable if any part thereof were deleted or otherwise modified,
then the covenants and obligations of Consultant as set forth in Sections 8 and
2.3 shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to make them
enforceable.

          8.4 Remedies. Sonic shall have the right, on behalf of itself and its
subsidiaries, to enforce Sections 8 and 2.3 of this Agreement by withholding
payment for the year in which any breach of Sections 8 or 2.3 occur and all
succeeding years during the Term, or by injunction, specific performance or
other equitable relief, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that
Sonic or its subsidiaries may otherwise have for a breach of Sections 8 or 2.3.

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        9. Termination. This Agreement and the engagement of Consultant shall be
terminated, and except as to any liabilities or claims that shall have accrued
or arisen prior to such termination, all obligations under this Agreement shall
cease upon the happening of any of the following events:

          9.1 If Consultant, in the reasonable determination of Sonic, shall
have committed a material breach of this Agreement, provided Sonic shall have
served written notice to Consultant setting forth the details of such alleged
breach, and within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, Consultant shall not
have cured such breach. Any such termination shall be without prejudice to all
rights and remedies of Sonic; and

          9.2 Upon written notice from Consultant, if at any time during the
Term Sonic fails to pay the Consulting Fee within ten (10) days of receipt of
such notice. In the event this Agreement is terminated under this Section 9.2 or

remaining unpaid Consulting Fee for the remaining Term, payable within ten (10)
days after the effective date of the termination.

be construed to constitute or to create a partnership or joint venture, or a
principal and agent, or an employer and employee relationship between Sonic and
Consultant. This Agreement shall not be deemed at any time to be or to create an
interest inuring to Consultant in the business, financial and operating affairs
of Sonic or its subsidiaries.
