A method device implementing a seamless user/service reservation network. A network is establishing having a user input module, an interface module and a vendor service module. The user input module accommodates different classes of potential users including golf reseller, an Internet based user and a dedicated function user. Regardless of the type of user input is targeted for, all user inputs accept the same input format and send all transactions via a bundled communication. The interface module comprises multiple servers designed to communicate with the user input module and the vendor service module and decode and process all bundled requests. Utilizing multi-thread processing, all transactions from either module are concurrently processed. The vendor service module incorporates multiple vendor systems running different software platforms. Each vendor software platform is linked with a dedicated network server that can accordingly translate all standard communications to the specific protocol of the individual software vendor. By incorporating multiple user inputs that are processed concurrently by multiple vendors running different software platforms the seamless golf reservation network establishes a standardized golf tee time reservation system unique to this industry.
