In a release, police said the man told the teen he needed to use the bathroom so she she left and began cleaning the women's washroom.
It's alleged the man then followed the employee into the women's washroom, pushed her into a corner and touched her inappropriately while holding his hand over her mouth.
The man then fled the restaurant after the victim managed to loosen her attacker's grip and call her co-workers for help.
