Everyone knows that shuffleboard is a great way to let loose and relax in the comfort of your own home. However, the game can also be a great way to encourage workers to be more productive, take a break from their day jobs, and challenge a fellow employee to a fun shuffleboard tournament. This is the philosophy behind the designs of the main offices of some of the internet's fastest-growing companies. Foursquare, an online program that allows people who frequent certain establishments to "check in" in exchange for rewards and promotions, has become a massively popular service since its 2009 launch. Now, with more than 15 million users subscribed to the social network, Foursquare has roughly 100 employees at its New York City headquarters, which features amenities not found in most offices. The cafeteria in the two-story facility features a host of activities in a stylish yet relaxed setting that encourages workers to enjoy themselves. Employees can either sit on a stool at a bar-style countertop or lounge on a series of picnic tables scattered throughout the space. Adjacent to the dining area are a series of ping-pong tables where co-workers can blow off steam and face each other in miniature table-tennis competitions. Best of all, the office features a 9-foot shuffleboard table for longer, more relaxing tournaments at the end of a hard day's work. The company splits its team between the New York offices and a space in San Francisco, where workers can enjoy a similar laid-back environment while on the job. If you'd like to bring a little more fun to your office, consider following Foursquare's lead and bringing the game of table shuffleboard to your employees by purchasing one of the quality pieces made by McClure Tables.
