Would The Krusty Krab Survive in the Real Business World?

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.

    • I agree, the Krusty Krab as a business with how it works would have an extremely difficult time working out how to avoid the troubles of the government and finding employees. Also, the place would for sure be shutdown for a lot of reasons, including health as sanitation is by far not one of Mr. Krabs top priorities.

  • If the crusty crab were real i would not work their as they treat their employees poorly. I also belive that the crusty crab would not even make it the first day as they would be sold out of krabby pattys because of all the people obbsessed with spongebob and wanting a krabby patty and we all know mr krabs has a limited amount of krabby patty meat.

  • I think that it would survive in the real world. It is an iconic resterant and tons of people would go to it. 90% of people love the show and I think if it came around it would do very well. It would be very hot from the start but they would have to have the iconic krabby paddy!

  • I think the Krusty Krab would be very succelful because it would be really cool if they took it off of a tv show and turned it into real life and I think everybody would want to try it. I personally would not work for it because I am not a restraunt type of guy.

  • Absolutely not. Mr. Krabs would not treat his employees very well and that would result in lack of workers. The business would shut down in less than a month. I personally would not work there because I would not want to be treated that way and I would probably not recieve good pay. 

    • A lack of workers would for sure cause a major issue. The issue would be so big that Mr. Krabs would have to completely change how he ran the business of his restaurant. I too wouldn't work there as the conditions would be too daunting for me to find any enjoyment there and I wouldn' t even turn a profit.

  • I wouldn't work at the krusty crab. The pay that the workers get there was way to little and being bossed around by a crab all day doesn't sound like much fun. It is surprising that the business has survived because they don't have too many workers there. 

  • I would not work at the crusty crab beacuse I would not like to be treated like total crap from a crab. Also I would get paid little to none because of Mr.Krabs greedy little self and plus he takes most of the money. I do not think the restruant would do very well and would be shutdown because of lack of help.

    • I agree, the Krusty Krab, while a great business when you have workers with the brain capacity of a fish, but that isn't going to cut it when you have a population of people who may have a slightly higher brain capacity than a talking fish. 

  • If the crusty crab was a real think I would not work there. Because of the way they treat their employees and because Mr. Krabs takes most of the money for himself. I think that if they made it a real business it would not good very well.
