I'm writing this as just an end-user, and not someone who implemented the product.

It's nice to have a channel to send shout outs to your colleagues. There's exec visibility, so I'd like to think this helps them get more insight into who works hard and makes stuff happen for their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not really sure what the outcomes are. I think I get stickers and can share stickers with people. If execs/management aren't following the channel closely, is there any notification they get saying "hey - your IC got 30 tacos!"? Maybe there is, but it's not super clear to me if they actually see things and so whether or not you end up getting the credit for a job well done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tacos themselves send a positive message. I am for anything that contributes to a positive or uplifting feeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Taco messages are not private and can sometimes be seen by people outside the company, like clients. This creates a risk of unintended oversharing, especially if someone includes a company name by mistake. While this hasn’t happened to me personally, I've seen it cause uncomfortable situations for others. I think having more guidance or nudges to use DMs in certain cases would help reduce these risks and improve the overall experience. Apparently, this isn't something directly controlled by HeyTaco, so I gave an 8 overall.

It can sometimes be hard for me to shift gears during a busy day to write a thoughtful message, even though the intent behind it is appreciated, but this is a very minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy taco reactions to add on and echo what others are saying. It's easy to use once you get a hang of it. I use it every work day and it's satisfying to collect the tacos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only five tacos a day is a little limiting. It would be nice to have the stickers available in Slack. The stickers were confusing to me at first, but I figured out how they worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sending tacos is a lighthearted way to show appreciation that is quick, informal, and surprisingly meaningful. Tacos boost team morale and spread corporate culture by allowing frequent peer-to-peer shoutouts to help build a culture of gratitude and visibility, especially for remote teams.

Seamlessly integrates with Slack, so recognition occurs right in the flow of daily communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel frustrated when popular taco stickers are limited. Frequent taco alerts can clutter Slack channels or distract from core work, leading to notification overload. I would like to be able to mute a specific channel until a certain time of day. I want more emoji options, themed tacos, or deeper personalization features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of changing the rewards, feeling valued, and having various options. The implementation time to meet goals and purposes, the day support failed, they resolved it quickly, almost within 24 hours. I use it daily, it's wonderful, it's easy to integrate as an incentive in a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the time it takes to gather the necessary amount to access the rewards, sometimes the app fails since it was linked to Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that its a way to give kudos to colleagues that actually have tangible benefits. Its fun to see who other people are calling out for doing a good job, and is nice to be able to recognize people cross functionally. I really like that HeyTaco does frequent charity donation matches as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limits set on how many can be given a day but I am aware that is probably a choice made per company.

It can be clunky when you want to give multiple tacos to one person; selecting each individual taco emoji is tedious Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like several things about HeyTaco and how it's impacting our team.

It makes giving recognition incredibly easy and fun. HeyTaco is perfect for acknowledging the smaller, but still very valuable, efforts and assists that happen constantly within a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's very little I dislike about HeyTaco. It's a simple, effective, and fun tool that does exactly what we need it to do for peer recognition.

Yet I find it that once a reward is claimed (I claimed 25 Taco sweet and fun treet) so its out of stock and anyone having 28 or 30 tacos need to run for 40 taco reward. Very likely depends on ORG level thing that can be solved by increasing stock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a fun way to reward my coworkers, and we get to redeem rewards as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tagging could be better, like if I tag two people I want to give them each a taco, but it gives 2 to both Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy and visible it is to give someone a shoutout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The daily limitation feels too low. High priority projects that deserve praise often have more than 4 people working hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fun and easy way to show appreciation for team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not clear how to use the stickers! Would love to be able to give a taco sticker without leaving Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
