Food services

Staying at CHEO? Order food to your bedside

CHEO inpatients, emergency department patients, parents and caregivers can now place an online order for food right to the bedside, using the CBORD® Patient™ app! While staying at CHEO, you can download the app through the Apple iStore or Google Play and use it to place an order.

Here’s what you’ll need to log-in:

  • CHEO’s hospital code: cheo1H8L1,
  • The patient’s MRN# (The 9-digit number on the patient’s bracelet).
  • If you do not know the MRN, you can ask your nursing staff and they will provide it. You will also need the patient’s date of birth. Note that when you are ordering for a parent/caregiver/guest you still need to put the patient’s date of birth. Don’t forget to tick the age box. To order under Patient, please tick the box “I am at least 13 years of age.” If the patient is under 13 years, tick Family or Friend.

Once logged in, you’ll be able to browse customized menu options that take into account a patient’s allergies and any recommendations from their doctor. You can order from both the patient and guest menu (for parents and caregivers) through the app.

To order room service, download the app:
