Do you not have a late fee on your invoices? If not put a $50 charge every 30 days late or 2.5% of the bill.
I add on $35 after 30 days.
Honestly this is only the second time we have had a problem like this. The other, in April a lady wrote a bad check. I just turned that over to the police and was done with it.
My business is only five years old, and this is the first time I had someone deliberately not pay.

It's not about the money anymore. I would phone his office incessantly, email him invoices every day, and if that fails I would take out an ad in the Picayune displaying your invoice, number of times contacted and ignored, and a note at the bottom explaining you are a young businessman and simply want what he agreed to( I would provide copies of his email agreements as well). I wouldn't care if this cost me well over a thousand. Do Unto Others.... but that's just me.

A friend leased a personal vehicle to an Australian wealthy guy for an event and the guy never paid him.
He did calls, faxes, letters etc. nothing worked.
Finally he had another buddy that lived down there call and collect every fax number in the guys office.
My friend sent a fax to all 6 numbers every day.
The fax had a cover page with big font that said like "please pay your bills I need to feed my children"
He received payment and a request to stop contact within 2 weeks.
I like the bill board idea, you should photoshop an add and send it to him asking if he can spell check his info.

You are lucky if this is the first bad debt you have had selling or providing services to restaurants.
My family had a business that sold to restaurants for 20+ years and we would have a ton of these issues every year.
I would send them a letter telling them you will have to turn it over to collections if you don't get paid in a specified amount of time. Then if they don't answer then turn it over to collections. It's not worth the time in my opinion to bring it to small claims court unless you have a good bit of free time.
