Are you seriously asking someone to provide you with a completely working software for FREE?????

You give me a call. You pay me and my team $XXX/hour that we work on it. You enjoy your new toy.
Seriously, what are you asking out of us right now?

As the others have said, if you are asking for full code, you are out of luck unless you hire someone.
If you are asking for general advice, here's what I would consider.
1. Use the digital outputs of a DAQ connected to a radio transmitter (message sent corresponds to output of DAQ)
2. Each "pager" has a radio receiver and a some Demultiplexer chips (4:16, multiple if you need more than 16 total pagers).
3. Each "pager" is set up with logic gates that pass HIGH for a specific input (unique to each pager) (this would be better done with a microprocessor but the logic gate option is probably cheaper)
4. By sending the right digital output of the DAQ (01101, for example) it corresponds with only 1 pager and it's circuitry activates (sound, vibration, etc)
As far as the user interface, you'd probably want a barcode scanner (sticker code on each pager), or maybe RFID chips, to quickly register which pager is assigned to the name being entered. The DAQ outputs for each pager would be hard-coded and automatically selected when required. Of course, you'd probably want your front panel to look something like your seating layout.

I'm guessing this is a homework assignment to simulate a restaurant pager system in code. Of course we still won't do it for you but if it's a school project we'll be happy to help you along....

Well, if that is the case, the OP will be glad to note that my hourly rates for personal tutoring are very, very reasonable -- plus air fare of course...
