Japanese Translation Help

Okay, so I just have one quick question about a fairly informal greeting of a restauranteur to some potential customers. I want it to be something like "Good Evening." Google tells me that こんばんは Konbanwa is the proper greeting. Is that correct or am I way off base?

I wish I could help, but I can't. Spanish probably. English, definitely, lol. anything else nope.

That's correct.

Restaurants in Japan always greet customers with irrashaimase.

Dammit, I missed the "restaurateur" part. Eldritch_Bard is absolutely right; the correct greeting for customers in any situation is "irasshaimase" (roughly meaning welcome). It's grammatically formal but still used in casual businesses.
