Here's what I have brainstormed: Organization: KinderCare Learning Centers
New Product: Daycare that caters dinner for parents when picking up their children
Relevance: KinderCare already serves nutritious meals at the daycare center, but for those extremely busy working parents it would be nice to pick up your children and a nutritious dinner at the same time? KinderCare Learning Centers are currently located in 38 different states in the United States and has approximately 1,700 community-based care centers.

They have significantly less time then a family where one parent does not work and would subsequently have time to cook a meal for dinner.
Household size: This also might be interesting. If a family has 3 or more kids, perhaps the parents feel overwhelmed preparing large dinners every ...
