Austin, Texas · In the food business since 2012
Now I help food businesses do the same. I'm Max Kunik, and every food & hospitality business needs a wingman.

Pick the ticket that matches your problem.
For people opening a kitchen, launching a product, or finding the right home for a food concept. Practical help from someone who has done it.
I run the event side of Austin bars and restaurants: private events in your space, and off-site catering when your kitchen goes on the road. From the first inquiry to the last guest out, you keep doing what you do; I handle the rest.

“I hand Max our events and get my evenings back. Inquiries, proposals, staffing, the day-of chaos: he handles all of it, and our guests always leave happy.”

About Max
I've worked with the Austin Food & Wine Alliance, run delivery operations at Favor, spent six years running Jaime's Spanish Village salsas and queso, co-founded Taster's Table Club, opened Wingman Kitchens in 2019, and today run events for Austin bars and restaurants. Foodie Wingman is where I put all of that to work for you. And if I don't have the answer, I'll find someone who does.
