MoMo6Added by MoMo6

The Krusty Krab is a fast food restaurant in the city of Bikini Bottom, founded and owned by Eugene H. Krabs (better known to most as simply "Mr. Krabs"). This restaurant serves as the center of all Krusty Krab Inc. establishments. It is the most popular restaurant in Bikini Bottom. Mr Krabs loves money, and is openly concerned only with making money and because of this, he pays his employees very cheaply.

The restaurant's reason for popularity is the Krabby Patty, a burger with a very top secret recipe, which has almost always been the signature Krusty Krab dish. Other Krusty Krab grub includes typical fast food products such as french fries and sodas, as well as underwater foods such as "Coral Bits" and "Kelp Rings". All of these items make up the "Galley Grub" of the Krusty Krab. Mr Krabs e: SpongeBob SquarePants, the fry cook, and Squidward Tentacles, the cashier. SpongeBob loves his job and is great at it, while Squidward hates his job and is terrible at it. The two employees work together great (according to SpongeBob) and terribly (according to Squidward); Squidward hates SpongeBob, while SpongeBob thinks he is one of his best friends. The Krusty Krab's main business competitor is the Chum Bucket, owned by Sheldon J. Plankton, Mr. Krabs' worst enemy. While the Chum Bucket, the restaurant's only competitor usually fails, there have been some short times when the Chum Bucket wasn't failing. These infrequent short periods of time are the only times when the Krusty Krab has any competition. Stephen Hillenburg's original name for the Krusty Krab was the "Crusty Crab," but he decided that the intentional misspelling was defiantly funnier.

History Edit

According to the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video", the Krusty Krab was born when Mr. Krabs, who had been secluded in a deep depression after serving in the military that seemed endless, acquired a bankrupt retirement home called the "Rusty Krab". However, later episode "Grandpappy the Pirate" directly contradicts this, depicting that Mr. Krabs was once a seafaring pirate and that the Krusty Krab was originally his ship.

In "Friend or Foe", which revealed the origin of Mr. Krabs and Plankton's rivalry, it is shown that Mr. Krabs first went into the fast food business in his childhood. The Krabby Patty secret formula was created when a shelf was broken during Krabs and Plankton's struggle, causing various ingredients to slide into the patty batter. However, other episodes, most notably "Enemy In-Law", state that the Krabby Patty and its formula is a family recipe, like in "Dunces and Dragons", which shows that the Krabby Patty was first served in medieval times by an ancestor of Mr. Krabs, who was introduced to it as a result of SpongeBob and Patrick's time traveling.

According to one Nickelodeon Magazine, Patrick formerly owned the Krusty Krab and invented the Krabby Patty, but retired and sold it to some sweaty, fat, red guy, as revealed in his diary, but Patrick might have made it up.

As for salaries, Squidward and SpongeBob, the only two employees besides their boss Mr. Krabs, have varying salaries depending on the episode, and are mostly for the joke. In some instances, they are paid an actual (if not minimal) paycheck, while some other instances show that they actually are to pay Mr. Krabs (This is most notable in the episode, Squid on Strike, where Squidward is forced to pay for his services). Another episode shows they are paid only one nickel (five cents) a day, according to an episode in which Squidward mentions this fact and SpongeBob can't stop laughing. Another recent episode shows that Mr. Krabs pays SpongeBob with "Wacky bucks", a fake currency which obviously has no value, obviously just for a gag.

Design and FeaturesEdit

ExteriorEdit

The Krusty Krab building has a wooden chassis with glass windows/walls and appears from the outside as an old lobster trap. There is a large clam-shaped sign in front of the building, similar to those used by real-life fast food restaurants, and five International maritime signal flags above the front door. There is a pole outside its right window as seen in "My Pretty Seahorse". It shares resemblance to a New England lobster trap.

Parking LotEdit

SpongeboobsAdded by Spongeboobs

Sometimes, there is a parking lot outside. One notable example is "Truth or Square" where many boats parked outside the Krusty Krab.

Drive ThruEdit

The Drive Thru is seen throughout the first four seasons, but its most notable appearance was in "Driven to Tears" when Krabs introduces it to SpongeBob. It was removed until the episode, "Drive Thru," when an unrepaired hole was mistaken for a drive thru, causing chaos in the Krusty Krab. Its purpose was to serve travelers and tourists that didn't have time to eat at the Krusty Krab. In "Driven to Tears," it resembled a modern drive thru, but in its latest appearance it was cheaply built.

InteriorEdit

Like other buildings in the series, the Krusty Krab's interior design is sometimes highly inconsistent between episodes. The Krusty Krab's basic floor plan consists of one main eating area, with the kitchen, Mr. Krabs' office, and bathrooms in separate rooms at the back of the building.

Dining AreaEdit

The order stand consists of a small boat directly in front of the window leading to the kitchen. To go with the show's nautical theme, the Krusty Krab bears a striking resemblance to a New England lobster trap. When you first go inside, there is the main eating area, which is one of the largest rooms. The tables are made out of sailing ship steering wheels, with barrels as chairs. Near the kitchen door is the Order station, where the cash register is and where Squidward works, taking people's orders, and giving them to SpongeBob through the order window which is shaped like the bow of a ship. In some episodes, there is a salad stand near the order window, and a "Condiment Island" stand, with ketchup and the like. At the back of the building is a lot of rooms, which are very inconsistent but mostly correct in the following order. In "Krabs a la Mode" a thermostat was shown in the Krusty Krab. Krabs installed a ceiling fan in the episode, "SpongeBob vs. The Big One."

OfficeEdit

SpongeboobsAdded by Spongeboobs

On the far left is Mr. Krabs' office, with a money safe, a desk made out of a old sea trunk, chairs, pictures/money on the wall, etc. There is also a door to the kitchen so Mr. Krabs can check on SpongeBob.

KitchenEdit

The kitchen is SpongeBob's station, where SpongeBob makes the Krabby Patties, and stores his cleaning supplies. It has a grill for cooking patties. There are storage cupboards for ingredients. A window is seen, which is used to place orders and to serve them once they are done. The kitchen is commonly used as a storage. In some episodes, it is vast, holding a "Patty Vault" full of Krabby Patties, a freezer that Squidward was frozen in for 2000 years once, and many other hallways and rooms. It had a refrigerator before it was in "Pat No Pay."

RestroomEdit

The restroom is located on the far right of dining room. It has urinals and toilets and sinks. A sign saying to wash your fins can be seen written in both English and Spanish. In most episodes, there are two toilets.

Other interior featuresEdit

Most notably in Truth or Square, there shown to be a lot of nooks and crannies in the Krusty Krab, like a massive ventilation system. That system also has a surveillance room where there are computers that spy on every house in Bikini Bottom. In various episodes it is shown to be host to several secret passages and rooms. Some examples are found in Truth or Square and Chum Bucket Supreme.

QualityEdit

Apart from its excellent food, the Krusty Krab exhibits many of the undesirable qualities of real-life fast food restaurants. It is dirty and cheaply maintained, and the building is sometimes shown to be in a state of disrepair.

TechnologyEdit

In the "Krusty Krab Training Video", basic features of modern fast food restaurants implemented by the Krusty Krab are described as "the latest achievements in fast food technology" and given extravagant descriptions. This "technology" includes:

  • Spatula: "Advanced patty-control mechanism".
  • Cash register: "Automated money-handling system".
  • Ice Cubes: "Imported high quality temperature devices".
  • Straws: "Prototype liquid transfer machines".
  • Ketchup packets: "State of the art condiment dispersal units".

AdvertisementsEdit

Main article: Krusty Krab Advertising

Due to Mr. Krabs' cheapness, The Krusty Krab is rarely shown to have any significant advertising, but has on several significant occasions. One of his methods of advertisement was commercials.[27]

  • Squidward is the director at first, but when Mr. Krabs sees the insane production values of Squidward's commercial, he fires the crew and directs an extremely cheap and poorly made commercial using only himself, his employees and his daughter. The commercial was shown in the "prime time slot" of 3:28 AM, and featured Pearl and Squidward playing teenage girls getting their first Krabby Patty from Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob made only two partial cameos in the commercial, but was extremely excited to see himself on TV and believed that he was now a celebrity. In the commercial, the Krusty Krab's slogan is jokingly shown to be "Come spend your money here!"
  • A Vintage Krusty Krab commercial was seen in Truth or Square [28]

Another Krusty Krab commercial aired which appears to advertise the Krusty Kid's Meal, which at that time was themed on Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.[29] In order to attract new regulars into his restaurant, Mr. Krabs advertised his business in a local newspaper, in extremely small print, (so small you need a magnifing glass to see).[30]

ToysEdit

In the episode "Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob", Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are hired to promote the restaurant, appearing in television commercials for it. Kids meals are produced featuring Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy toys. In "Bummer Vacation", SpongeBob is shown to own a Krusty Krab playset, which includes figures of SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr.Krabs and Squidward. In "Yours, Mine, and Mine", it is seen to have a toy made out of the Krabby Patty, which SpongeBob calls a Patty Pal. In "Born Again Krabs" Mr. Krabs sells Bikini Bottimite action figures when he realizes he is awake.

Mr. Krab's Greedy PlansEdit

Main Article: List of Mr. Krab's Greedy plans

Mr. Krabs has done more than twenty five scams to try and get as much money as possible. His most villainous scam so far is the Jelly Patty scam in "Jellyfish Hunters".

EmploymentEdit

Other than Mr. Krabs himself, the Krusty Krab has only two full-time employees; the fry cook SpongeBob, and the cashier Squidward.

Squidward TentaclesEdit

Squidward is the cashier, and stands in a boat taking orders for the entire work day. Squidward has also served as a fry cook in various episodes, including "Bubble Buddy", "Pickles" and in "Breath of Fresh Squidward". Squidward hates his job, the Krusty Krab, Krabby Patties, and his peers at work. Despite his dissatisfaction, he makes little effort to find a different job, and has attempted to quit on only a few occasions, most notably in "Can You Spare a Dime?".

SpongeBob SquarePantsEdit

SpongeBob is the fry cook of the restaurant. The Original Fry Cook, Jim, quits after Mr. Krabs refused to give him a raise. He first applied for the job in the Help Wanted, the pilot episode of the series. Mr. Krabs and Squidward, wanting no part of him, sent SpongeBob on a fool's errand. While he was gone, an enormous crowd of anchovies stormed the restaurant, nearly killing Squidward and Krabs. When SpongeBob returned, he demonstrated his superhuman fry cook skills, serving all the anchovies, saving Squidward and Krabs, and securing his job. SpongeBob has been assigned other duties in various episodes, including has janitorial duties, "co-cashier" in "The Algae's Always Greener", "Parking Lot Litter Patrol" in "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler", and "well money-retriever" in "Wishing You Well". At the end of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, SpongeBob is hired as the manager of the new Krusty Krab 2. According to the episode "Stanley S. SquarePants", SpongeBob's exact job title is "Vice Assistant General Manager in charge of certain things".

Other employeesEdit

In various episodes, the Krusty Krab has hired additional employees. None maintain their job for more than one consecutive episode.

Patrick StarEdit

Patrick Star has worked at the Krusty Krab in several episodes. He was first hired at the Krusty Krab in the episode "Arrgh!", only to be immediately fired. He first properly worked at the Krusty Krab in "Big Pink Loser". In "Squilliam Returns", Patrick is assigned the role of hat-taker when Squidward takes over the restaurant to impress Squilliam. In "Bummer Vacation", he took SpongeBob's job as an unpaid intern during his forced vacation. In "That's No Lady", Patrick, disguised as "Patricia", becomes the waitress of the Krusty Krab. In "Banned in Bikini Bottom," Patrick works as the bouncer to the secret Krusty Krab. In "Pat No Pay", he is forced to work at the Krusty Krab in order to pay for the numerous Krabby Patties he has eaten and failed to pay for. In "No Hat for Pat", Mr. Krabs wanted to have tourists eating at his restaurant but had no luck. He found Patrick standing outside doing nothing and wanting a hat, he applied for the job to advertise the Krusty Krab. He made no success but obtained his hat and started falling to the ground, bringing tourists and more customers. His falling made Mr. Krabs find more things to fall into and when the customers see that two were about to hurt themselves only Squidward did and stripped Mr. Krabs from his money earned thus firing Patrick.

Gary the SnailEdit

Gary served as a waiter for the secret Krusty Krab in "Banned in Bikini Bottom." He also worked as a refree when a hockey team practiced in the frozen Krusty Krab in "Krabs a la Mode". He was also the "cleaner of the ick" in "Fungus Among Us". In the episode Shellback Shenanigans, Gary serves in sentry duty to prevent Plankton from infiltrating the Krusty Krab.

Sandy CheeksEdit

Sandy Cheeks worked alongside SpongeBob as patty-chopper in "Karate Choppers".

Pearl KrabsEdit

Pearl Krabs worked at the Krusty Krab during her vacation in "Bossy Boots". In "Welcome To The Bikini Bottom Triangle", she was only carrying on the family business by cooking Krabby Patties.

CharlesEdit

Charles worked at the Krusty Krab without Mr. Krabs knowing in "Welcome To The Bikini Bottom Triangle". While he was "holding down the fort", he somehow caught Plankton during Krabs and the Krusty Crew's absence.

King NeptuneEdit

King Neptune became SpongeBob's "trainee" at the Krusty Krab after SpongeBob defeated him in "Neptune's Spatula".

TeenagersEdit

Three unnamed teenagers were given jobs when SpongeBob and Squidward went on strike on Squid on Strike, leaving their positions available.

Unnamed applicantEdit

A short, nerdy, green fish asked for a job application in "The Graveyard Shift".

Le SchnookEdit

A fancy French guy came to the Krusty Krab during the exchange program in "Le Big Switch", and puts the Krusty Krab in bankruptcy due to his demands for expensive fancy stuff.

Stanley S. SquarepantsEdit

Stanley S. SquarePants temporarily took Squidward's position, but destroyed everything he came in contact with.

FrankEdit

Frank was once hired by SpongeBob, the Krusty Krab's temporary manager. In "Gullible Pants," Squidward told SpongeBob a false secret stating that Frank wanted a job as a fry cook. The gullible sponge gave him the job, and Frank thought that SpongeBob knows his secret, making him think that SpongeBob was threatening to reveal it. He did what the sponge says and cooked Krabby Patties as Squidward gives him more false secrets.

Employee InformationEdit

FinanceEdit

Mr. Krabs consistently pays his employees extremely poorly, although the exact amount varies. In "Squeaky Boots", SpongeBob's paycheck consists of an envelope of money. In "Dying for Pie," Squidward mentions that he gets paid at minimum wage. In "Bossy Boots", when Mr. Krabs attempts to get rid of all the stuff he bought for the Kuddly Krab, he sells them to SpongeBob for one years salary. This includes music, carpet, furniture, and stuffed animals. In "Skill Crane", Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob and Squidward their paychecks, which consists of an envelope of money for SpongeBob and a huge bag of quarters for Squidward.

In "Bummer Vacation", Mr. Krabs holds up a dime and SpongeBob says that is more than what he makes in a year. In "Squid on Strike", Mr. Krabs deducts from SpongeBob and Squidward's salary for "goofing off". In "Big Pink Loser", SpongeBob claims that he actually pays Mr. Krabs rather than being paid himself.

TrainingEdit

According to the Krusty Krab Training Video, employees work under the unfortunately named philosophy of "POOP" which stands for People Order Our Patties. The video also explains how employees are required to maintain personal hygiene, keep their work station tidy and free of droppings, and keep supplies clean and organized. Employees must also be prepared for an emergency situation and watch out for Plankton.

Annual Employment Report CardEdit

Report cards are kept to record the progress of employees on their tasks or job.[31] The requirements include:

  • Keeps Work Area Clean
  • Arrives at Work on Time
  • Does a Laborious Task for Supervisor
  • Keeps up on Hygiene

InspectionEdit

There is also inspection for the employees.[32] To pass the requirements, an employee must complete the following requirements:

  • Must have nametag on
  • Must be clean

PopularityEdit

The Krusty Krab is one of the most popular resterants, and seemingly the only fast food resterant in town. The place is usually full of cutomers except during episodes that involve trying to attract them. There is usually a significant line at Squidwards register and occaionally leads outside the doors into the distance with no one being discouraged from waiting in it to aquire food.

The food is so popular in fact that several times when customers are made to wait on food, rather than complain or simply leave they will riot. Attacking SpongeBob and Squidward and even damage the building despite attacking the Fry Cook and waiter being the opposite of helpful in that situation.

During the period were the Krusty Krab had a drive thru the town turned into a parking lot since everyone tried to use it, never occouring to anyone to just get out of their car and go inside like normal.

ChangesEdit

In several episodes, the Krusty Krab is temporarily changed or even converted into a different restaurant entirely.

In the episode "Bossy Boots," Mr. Krabs hires his daughter Pearl to work at the Krusty Krab during her vacation. With the help of SpongeBob, she changed the Krusty Krab into the "Kuddly Krab", a girly teen hangout restaurant which served only tea, fries and salad. The restaurant featured a colorful design and featured stuffed animals and other novelty decorations. Despite its popularity among teens, the Kuddly Krab suffered an overall decline in profits and Pearl had to be fired. Pearl reveals that she has actually trying to be fired, as the job cut too much into her social life. The Krusty Krab returned to normal, and SpongeBob bought all the decorations for one year's salary.

In the episode "Squilliam Returns", Mr. Krabs let Squidward temporarily transform the Krusty Krab into a fancy 5-Star restaurant so that Squidward could impress his highly successful unibrowed rival, Squilliam Fancyson. The plan worked, until SpongeBob went insane because Squilliam asked what's his name and destroyed the restaurant.

In the episode "Le Big Switch", a French "exchange chef" from the Fancy! restaurant becomes the cook at the Krusty Krab, and the Krusty Krab is transformed into a five-star French bistro, where Mr. Krabs is ecstatic because he can sell minuscule portions for very expensive prices, including a putrid dish which can only lose its stench by shredding gold on top of it. The French chef does this, much to Mr. Krabs disapproval. Squidward is also very happy because SpongeBob became an exchange chef and went to the Fancy! restaurant where his Krabby Patties were a huge hit even though it was not the type of cuisine suited for the Fancy! restaurant. Eventually the Krusty Krab bistro goes out of business and SpongeBob brings back all the Fancy! customers, who were demanding Krabby Patties from the Krusty Krab, returning the business to normal.

In the episode "Selling Out", Mr. Krabs sells the Krusty Krab to a corporate mogul named Howard Blandy and goes into retirement. The Krusty Krab is converted into the "Krabby O' Monday's", a family diner that had a pleasant atmosphere but in reality generated synthetic Krabby Patties made of sludge by machine. When Mr. Krabs took a job there as a result of boredom, he discovers this secret and goes on a rampage, revealing it to the customers and destroying the restaurant. He then buys the destroyed Krusty Krab back from Blandy for full price.

In the episode "Krusty Towers", Mr. Krabs transforms the restaurant into the "Krusty Towers", a multi-story hotel after staying at one and witnessing the outrageous prices that hotels can charge. The Hotel is destroyed when Patrick performs a cannonball into the swimming pool in his room, causing the tower to collapse, leaving only the original Krusty Krab.

In the episode "Krabs a la Mode", the restaurant is converted into an indoor ice ring, and later a swimming pool, when Plankton's plot to turn down the thermostat and freeze the Krusty Krab backfires.

In the episode, "The Krusty Sponge", Mr. Krabs, after receiving a review praising SpongeBob, transforms the Krusty Krab into a SpongeBob-themed restaurant called "The Krusty Sponge". However, the soiled yellow "Spongy Patties" caused Mr. Krabs to be arrested. Krabs bribes the judge to excuse him by having Squidward give him rides on the train which was built around the restaurant.

In "SB-129", the Krab is shown to in some form still be in service two-thousand years into the future. Like everything else in the future, the building is entirely plated in chrome.

In the episode "Driven to Tears", Mr. Krabs added a Drive Thru, but after this episode, the Drive Thru is never seen again.

LawsuitEdit

Plankton attempted to walk right into the Krusty Krab and steal the formula. He tripped and made himself look helpless which made the public send Krabs to court. His new attempt was to sue Krabs for the formula. SpongeBob, impersonating as a lawyer, made sure that Plankton reveal his true intentions, resulting in another plan foiled. The public and jury turned against Plankton and labeled Krabs not guilty but cheap.[33]

Krabs was arrested for selling poisoned food. The entire town of Bikini Bottom was against him. Luckily, the judge was a SpongeBob fan, so he reconsidered and did not send Krabs "down the river." Instead, he would return the restaurant to its normal ways, and the judge would get a ride on the Fun Train.[7]

Krabs was arrested for avoiding to pay for a product by stealing. The judge, Horace A. Whopper, decided that he will give away free Krabby Patties all day tomorrow. Krabby Patties sold by the dozens as Krabs screamed in horror while watching. This most likely ruined the profits.[34]

The Krusty Krab has been destroyed in several episodes, but is always intact in its next appearance.

LocationEdit

The location of the Krusty Krab relative to SpongeBob's house is not always the same. In the episodes "Help Wanted", "Plankton!", "Pickles", "Suds", "Hooky" and "Missing Identity", SpongeBob goes to the right of his house and passes Squidward's and Patrick's houses. In almost every other episode where the location of the Krusty Krab relative to SpongeBob's house, he goes to the left (the list of episodes would take such a long time to type, this editor won't bother). Mr. Krabs is too cheap to buy to pieces of property to place a Krusty Krab when it is destroyed.
