Cashier? Learn PLU Codes Easily!
PLU Codes are super hard to remember, especially if you are a new cashier at your local supermarket like me.
Although most modern systems include a lookup utility to help you look up codes when you can’t remember them, it can be super time consuming and annoying to both you and the customer.
With a little research, I found few resources to help study these codes. Most people I have talked to, including my coworkers, say that memorization comes with time. Although this is probably true, do yourself a favor and speed it up a little!
Introducing my PLU Trainer.
Now, practicing PLU codes is easier than ever. So far, I have found repetition to be the most effective way of memorization. If this is you, give the PLU Trainer website a try.
With flash-card based questions, you can study codes at lightning speed, at any time. Waiting for the bus? Start studying! Turn every opportunity into a time to practice.
With an easy-to-use interface, studying suddenly becomes easier than ever. No sign up or anything required.
Need a quick way to look up a certain PLU, Produce Category, Commodity, or Variety of an item? Try the Cheat Sheet with a built-in search function. Search over 1.5k PLUs to find exactly what you are looking for.
The database used in this project was provided by The International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), where the data is curated and kept up-to-date with all PLUs at major grocery stores.
With more quiz-based practices coming up in the future, you can practice identifying PLU codes based on item images amongst other features.
