After work one evening you ask the manager if you can talk with him privately. Have a nice resignation letter in your hand. Say “I need to give you two weeks notice that I am leaving.” Tell him how much you have enjoyed working in the restaurant but unfortunately you have other committments demanding your time.

The resignation letter should reiterate that you liked working for the company and specify your last day of work.

One more thing: even though your specific duties in the restaurant (waiting tables?) don’t relate exactly to your intended career goals (designing computer widgits?) young employees generally learn a great deal about the ‘real world’ just from going to work on a regular schedule, playing their position in the organization, fulfilling their assignments, and receiving a paycheck for work accomplished. Do not feel that you have wasted your time!
