Often takes a couple days for restaurant transactions to post to my account.

The record was three weeks.

Probably just haven't settled their credit cards yet, I'm sure they'll figure it out soon. Personally, I wouldn't worry much about that scumbag being out of some money temporarily.

A different kind of problem. I ate there 2 days in a row a few weeks ago and my credit card charges were never posted. This is generally indicative of an issue with human error (not posting) or with the credit card processor. I left 2 messages for the owner, my limit, and no return call. If someone wants to do the guy a favor, you might tell him he may have a serious problem. He could be out thousands of dollars, though one would think he would realize it if that were the case. I know of another restaurant that this happened to but it was a few months before they realized they hadn't gotten any credit card money. They lost most of their money as a result. I'm out of town for a few days; otherwise I would stop in there.
