[Spongebob] How does the Krusty Krab have such inconsistent business?

Some episodes are literally centered around the restaurant almost going out of business because it’s so dead, but there are tons of episodes where there are just casually tons of people there. How is it so inconsistent? Why are the townspeople so fickle about their fast food?

Considering there's a beach nearby, I'd say seasonal traffic. A lot of restaurants close down during the off season, and those that don't have a hard time justifying the cost of remaining open. It's probably Krabs trying to pinch every penny but being a little... Over enthusiastic about the money what his most recent plan to milk customers will bring in.
