The Krusty Krab is a multimillion dollar business within the Spongebob universe. It has business practices that aren’t necessarily the most “humane”, but for what it does it achieves the goal that all businesses hope to achieve: a major profit. However, this is within a universe that doesn’t exactly align with the rules and regulations within ours. If we were to take the Krusty Krab itself, with how it’s run by Mr. Krabs and its business practices, would it be capable of being a successful business within today's economy/social structure? (This is all assuming that nobody knows where the Krusty Krab came from, it’s a brand new restaurant that just suddenly appeared.)
First off, we have to talk about how the Krusty Krab is run. One of the main practices of the restaurant are its policies that essentially make it one of the cheapest places I’ve ever heard of. From not allowing refills (which isn’t uncommon, but in a fast food restaurant it’s a lot more rare) to raising prices of things up to 10x their initial price. The employees aren’t safe either, with them being charged $10 for standing and another $5 for talking (even to customers). With all this in mind, there’s no way that anyone would even work for the company with how awful its business practices are, but let’s say that somehow they do manage to find some workers, how would the customers react to this?
The staple of the Krusty Krab is the Krabby Patty. It’s by far one of the greatest tasting things according to multiple accounts from the show. And since the show keeps the ingredients from it away from the public it would act similar to how we treat other fast food restaurants and their products, such as McDonalds chicken nuggets. A lot of people still don’t know where or how McDonald's chicken nuggets are made but that doesn’t stop them. A similar result would happen I believe if the Krabby Patty were to become a real thing. In fact, it would on a much higher degree that it could potentially be drug tested for how addictive it is. In terms of food, the place would rate extremely high with taste alone, but in terms of variety, it wouldn’t rank extremely high, but who needs variety when your staple is so good that people come back just for that.
In the end, the Krusty Krab (if it were miraculously not shut down by the government) would be a fairly successful business, and since the population of people within let’s say the US is probably a little bigger than the population of Bikini Bottom the place could increase its growth exponentially around the country and even the world. Though its hardest venture would be finding employees desperate enough to work for it and would not report any violations of certain workers rights laws.
Would you work for the Krusty Krab? Why or why not?
Do you think the Krusty Krab would be successful?

yes it's popularity in the show would be helpful, however, like I stated in the post, nobody knows that the Krusty Krab existed, it just showed up someday and it's unknown of, so without this popularity from where it comes from it would definitely lose a lot of it's popularity initially but after enough people ate their it would be popular enough to stay afloat.
I would not work for them because personally I just don't like workng, but I would go there to eat because of the fame. I think it would be succesfull for the name and for the food because it is simmilar to burger king and mcdonalds and other fast food places.
Not working there would be for the best, but going there simply because of the name wouldn't be plausable because you wouldn't know it existed (remember this is with nobody knowing where the krusty krab came from, it's just showed up randomly). Though I do believe that once people ate there it would be really easy to draw them back in.
