I agree with you, but use of 'restauranteur' seems to have been increasing quite a lot. In many cases, it will undoubtedly be an error, but in principle there's nothing wrong with deliberately coining it as a new word. Interestingly, the euphonic elision in the French original is there being replaced by what arguably is a euphonic epenthesis in English. :)
