The "Picnic Basket is supposed to help employees, apprentices and managers in the hospitality industy to handle and fight stress symptoms. Several online tests can show the user how to deal with typical situations and persons in his job.

The online tests offer situations like:

• test your stress risk
• what kind of stress-type are you?
• the boss is getting hectic

Besides a shop, links and a download- section for posters and brochures, one of the main topics of the "Picnic Basket" website is the radio play “The emotional parachute”.
