HeyTaco is employee recognition that lives inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. Every team member gets 5 tacos a day to give to teammates. Mention a colleague, add a 🌮, and say thanks. The shoutout appears right in the channel for everyone to see. There's no new app to log into and nothing to learn. Recognition happens where work already happens. The daily limit is on purpose. It keeps appreciation spread fairly across the team, stops favoritism, and turns a thank-you into a daily habit instead of something that happens once a quarter.
