HeyTaco

Employee recognition software built into Slack and Microsoft Teams

Visit HeyTaco

HeyTaco is peer-to-peer employee recognition software that runs inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. Teammates give each other virtual tacos with a short message of thanks; each person receives a daily taco allowance (default 5, customizable) that does not roll over. Tacos can be kept as visible recognition or redeemed for gift cards and custom company rewards. The product also covers automated birthday and work-anniversary celebrations, quests, gamification, leaderboards, values tagging, analytics, and an API. Founded in 2016 by Doug Dosberg, the company is customer-funded and based in the Washington, DC metro area.
