Abstract: A method for self dispatching services of tradesmen or other service providers. The invention allows consumers to order services based on the availability of specific servicemen working in the vicinity, based on availability of specific servicemen that the consumer wishes to use, based on urgency or lack of urgency of their service needs, and based on the price which is set by the servicemen based on urgency criteria and availability to do work in a particular area or particular time frame. The present invention also allows servicemen to work more efficiently by grouping their jobs in close proximity in time and area and by allowing them to fill in slow work times with lower urgency, lower priced work. The system allows servicemen to advertise their service and consumers to rate the quality of work they receive from specific servicemen. The invention allows consumers to find real time service by taking advantage of a vendor queue line.
