The belief behind everything

"When people get away well, they come back better."

That's not a tagline. It's what the research shows, what our pilots confirm, and why we built travel into the benefit stack — not as a reward, but as a foundation.

The reset your team needs.
The problem

Work has changed. Benefits haven't.

PTO exists on paper. People don't use it, and when they do, they don't come back refreshed. The result is a quiet, expensive crisis hiding in plain sight.

Getting away, on purpose

This is what rest actually looks like.

A long weekend or a full week. Mountains or coastline. City or wilderness. HeyOöto gets people to all of it.

📈
Recruiting differentiation
A travel benefit signals culture maturity in a way ping pong tables never could. It's what candidates notice first — and what employees least want to leave behind.
🔄
Structured pilot
No long commitments upfront. Run a pilot with your team and get outcome data at the end — participation, utilization, and retention signal.
🎯
First of its kind
HeyOöto is vertically integrated and AI-first — structured like a real benefit, not a perk aggregator. We own benefit management, AI guidance, booking, disruption handling, and post-trip learning in one platform.
✦
Every trip booked funds one more
For every trip your team takes through HeyOöto, we fund a trip for someone who couldn't otherwise afford one. Getting away isn't a luxury reserved for the well-resourced. It's the whole point.
"Structured prevention is cheaper than reactive replacement."
For a 100-person team at $110k avg. salary: 1.5% of payroll = $165k/year in travel investment. Replacing two engineers alone costs $110k–$440k. The math is clear.

For Employees

Your travel fund is ready.

No forms. No approvals. No guilt. Your company has set aside real money for you to actually use. OOto helps you figure out where to go — and handles everything from there. People who actually get away come back with an 8% increase in performance. That's not a wellness talking point. That's just what rest does.

BUDGET WORRY

"Is $650 enough for a long weekend somewhere warm?"

Easily — depending on where you go. Flights to Tulum can run $200–300 round trip from most US hubs. Want to see a few options under $600 total?

GUILT ABOUT GOING

"I feel weird using this. My team is in crunch mode."

That makes sense. Timing matters. Want to look at dates two weeks out — enough buffer to feel okay, but close enough that you actually go?

VAGUE INTENT

"I just need to get out of my head for a few days."

Got it. Somewhere quiet, not too much to organize. Solo or with someone? And are you thinking nature or city?

How it works

Simple for HR. Effortless for employees.

Four steps from enrollment to your team actually getting away.

1
Employer enrolls
HR sets up the plan in minutes. Choose a tier, set contributions, invite the team. No complex IT required.
2
Funds pool monthly
Employer and employee contributions flow into a managed travel pool. Everyone's balance lives in their HeyOöto wallet.
3
OOto guides the trip
Employees chat with OOto — no destination required. It understands the reset they need, finds options, handles booking end-to-end, and learns from every trip to get better over time.
4
HR sees the impact
The dashboard shows participation, utilization, and days between trips. When renewal comes, you'll have data — not a gut feeling.
Ready when you are

Let's run a pilot.

Our vision is simple: make travel a foundational employee benefit that improves lives, retention, and performance. The pilot is how we prove it together — no long-term commitment, no big implementation, just real outcome data at the end of it.

Built to give back

Every trip booked funds one more.

When someone on your team books a trip through HeyOöto, we fund a trip for someone who couldn't otherwise get away. Not a donation round-up. Not a percentage of profit. One booking, one trip. Every time.

We believe getting away isn't a privilege for the well-resourced. Rest, perspective, and the ability to step back from the grind — those shouldn't stop at an income threshold. Building that into our model is why we're pursuing B Corp certification.

So when your company offers HeyOöto as a benefit, your team isn't just getting away. They're helping someone else do the same.
