Propietario o dueño

Question

Which one should you use for restaurant owner.

propietario del restaurante.

o

Dueño del restaurante

I have never come accross dueño del restauante until I was looking it up on google translate.

Thanks

Answer 1

I'd say that "owner" is used as much as "dueño", and "proprietor" as much as "propietario" (well, this last one is maybe used a little bit more than in English). You choose.

Answer 2

Cuando estaba en México, todo el tiempo oía "dueño".

Answer 3

I think both would work, when you search both propietario del restaurante and dueño del restaurante you see plenty of newspaper articles which means both can be acceptable.
