How HeyTaco Works
🎯 Add HeyTaco to Where You Work
Getting started takes less than a minute. Add HeyTaco to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Chat and you're ready to go. No setup headaches, no long onboarding—just tacos, right where work happens. Because when gratitude lives in the flow of work, appreciation becomes a natural part of every day.
🌮 Build the Habit of Gratitude
Everyone gets five tacos each day to recognize achievements, big or small. Tag a teammate, add a short note, and drop a taco 🌮—a simple ritual that builds a daily rhythm of appreciation that lasts.
🚀 Build Momentum
Recognition spreads fast with leaderboards, Taco TV, and channel shoutouts. As tacos flow, appreciation becomes visible, fun, and impossible to ignore.
🎉 Celebrate With Rewards & Milestones
Tacos can be redeemed in the Taco Shop for rewards you choose—gift cards, swag, extra days off, or charity donations. HeyTaco also makes birthdays and work anniversaries effortless with automated milestone messages teammates can pile tacos onto.
📈 Track Progress in Real Time
Admins get dashboards and exports that reveal recognition trends, giving behaviors, and adoption across the team. See what's working—and where to spark more engagement.
Voila'! Your team now has a Taco Economy!
