TeamToast is a free employee recognition platform for Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat. Teams send "toasts" (shout-outs) to celebrate colleagues, run pulse surveys, award badges, and track engagement — all from one dashboard. Free for up to 25 users with every feature included.

How is TeamToast different from Slack emoji reactions?

Slack reactions are ephemeral and invisible to the org. TeamToast makes recognition visible, trackable, and rewardable — with points, leaderboards, analytics, and a public Toast Wall. It turns casual appreciation into structured culture.

Do I need IT approval to set up TeamToast?

No. Any team lead can sign up, connect Slack/Teams/Google Chat, and invite their team in under 2 minutes. No IT tickets, no server provisioning, no configuration files. Enterprise SSO and admin controls are available when you are ready.

Can I try TeamToast with just my team before rolling out company-wide?

Yes. Start with your team on the free tier (up to 25 users). If it works, expand to the whole org later. All data, settings, and recognition history carry over when you upgrade.

How do employees actually send a toast?

Use a slash command in Slack, Teams, or Google Chat (e.g., /toast @colleague Great work on the launch!), or send from the web dashboard. Add points, choose named or anonymous, and optionally attach a celebration GIF.

What happens to our recognition data if we cancel?

Your data remains accessible for 30 days after cancellation. You can export recognition history, survey results, and user data as CSV at any time before or after cancelling.

Is TeamToast suitable for remote and hybrid teams?

Absolutely. TeamToast works wherever your team chats — Slack, Teams, or Google Chat. The Toast Wall provides an async recognition feed, and surveys reach everyone regardless of location or time zone.

Can managers and employees both give recognition?

Yes. TeamToast is peer-to-peer by design. Any team member can send toasts to anyone else. Managers can also grant formal awards, but everyday recognition flows in all directions — not just top-down.

How does TeamToast handle multiple time zones?

Recognition rituals, survey schedules, and notifications respect the time zone configured for your account. Ritual kickoffs and recaps fire at the right local hour, not at 3 AM.

Does TeamToast work alongside our existing HR tools?

TeamToast focuses on recognition, surveys, and engagement. It complements HRIS, performance review, and payroll systems rather than replacing them. Growth and Scale plans include API access for custom integrations.
