Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Taco Shop in HeyTaco?
The Taco Shop is a customizable reward system where teammates can redeem the tacos they've received for meaningful rewards. It helps turn peer recognition into fun and memorable experiences.
Do I need rewards in the Taco Shop to use HeyTaco?
Nope! Lots of our customers don't use rewards and have a great culture of recognition. Employee rewards are a cherry on top, but not the core of a successful recognition strategy.
What types of employee rewards can we offer in the Taco Shop?
You can add anything - no budget required! Popular rewards include coffee with the CEO, a day off, charity donations, or gift cards. Many teams mix nonmonetary and monetary rewards to keep things fun and affordable.
Are these employee rewards expensive?
Not at all. Some of the most appreciated rewards are simple and cost nothing, such as choosing the playlist for a team meeting or receiving a handwritten note from a leader. The Taco Shop helps teams celebrate each other without breaking the bank.
Why do employee rewards matter for appreciation?
When recognition leads to a reward—especially one that's thoughtful or personalized—it reinforces positive behavior and makes people feel genuinely valued. Small, meaningful rewards can have a significant impact on morale.
Can I customize rewards for my team?
Yes! Admins can fully customize the Taco Shop to fit your team's culture, budget, and values. Whether it's swag, experiences, or recognition-based perks, it's all up to you.
Do we have to use gift cards in the Taco Shop?
Nope. While gift cards are available with HeyTaco's reward fulfillment option (for HeyTaco for Slack customers only right now), many teams opt for creative, low-cost ideas that feel more personal. The best rewards aren't always the ones with a price tag.
How do people redeem tacos for rewards?
Once you set up your Taco Shop, team members can browse rewards and redeem their earned tacos directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Admins are notified to fulfill each reward (unless it is instant gift cards), and people's tacos are automatically deducted from their taco balance.
