Police said the two masked men followed an employee, who was taking out trash, into the restaurant.

Police said the men targeted the safe and then left.

It was not immediately known if they got away with any money. Police said it was also not known how the pair left the restaurant. 

The workers were in the process of closing when the robbery took place.
