what is the difference between 'safety check', bike prep, service entry and mechanic reservations?

Here are the 4 major concepts in maintenance:
- safety check. This is something you do post-rental or pre-rental. Marking the bike as safe to ride. You don't have a specific rental in mind. But you do need to know its been done.
- bike preparation. This is something you do pre-rental. Marking the bike as safe and prepped. You DO have a specific rental for which you do a preparation
- service entry. Recording maintenance on a bike. For example a 10 ride check-up.
- mechanic reservation. Blocking out an item in the workshop while repairs are carried out / parts ordered.
