Lunch Buddies

Question

Hello,

maybe someone know how to solve this riddle:

In office there is around 30 employees and the idea is to make random lunch buddies generator.

Let's say employee A wants to have a lunch with someone. He goes into the tool, selects date and time and submit his participation. After he gets a match, both will be informed that there's Employee A and B who wants to have a lunch.

Can someone give me some tips/guidance/code for this tool?

Thanks a lot!

- Employees get to know everybody (if he uses the tool, it's not mandatory);
- It helps to onboard new employees;
