Good morning @Kent Gardiner,
Yes, this is the daughter of Hans Georg Eytel, "Schwanenwürt".
Translation:
On the 14th of October [1692], Anna Margretha blissfully fell asleep [died], daughter of Hanß Jörg "Eitel", innkeeper at the sign of the swan, who on the 15th of the same month was buried in a Christian manner, she lived 14 years, 6 months, and 3 weeks.

The German language has a number of specific words for various types of innkeepers. Here are just a few:
Cronenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the crown or proprieter of the Crown tavern/inn.
Löwenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the lion or proprietor of the Lion tavern/inn.
Bärenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the bear or proprietor of the Bear tavern/inn.
One of my favorites is: Dreikönigenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the Three Kings or proprietor of the Three Kings inn/tavern. I would think "Three Kings" is a reference to the Magi.
Most likely the Germans had special words for the innkeepers because from village to village, the same signs to identify the inns, taverns, and guesthouses were used over and over.

Hi Kent,
I reviewed Anna Margretha Eitels's 1692 death/burial record again to be sure that that there is no indication that her father Hanß Jörg, was deceased. You can assume that he was living at the time of Anna Margretha's death on 14 October 1692.
