Would an owner of a restaurant be referred to as an 'entrepreneur'?

I am currently working on an assignment. I am trying to write about a restaurant owner in the correct context. Is it correct to refer to a restaurant/bar owner as an entrepreneur? Or is this only correct when referring to certain business types? Any additional information on how to formally refer to a 'restaurant owner' would be appreciated as I am not very familiar with this area of knowledge! Thanks in advance!

An entrepreneur is someone who decides to take up a (business) opportunity at the cost of being exposed to risk. A restaurant owner is definitely an entrepreneur since that market is extremely risky.

To answer your question: yes, you can definitely refer to the owner as an entrepreneur in your assignment.
