First the honest part: Combo is not a bad product. It runs in more than 10,000 hospitality and retail venues in France, the €40 million Series A from 2022 funds a real team, and the native integrations with PayFit, Silae and Cegid save French operators hours every month. The HCR collective agreement is baked into the calculation engine.
But Combo is built for France. For a Belgian venue with one or two sites, it misses the Dimona filing, the SD Worx export, and the flexi-job logic you actually need each week. Billing runs per venue — €60 for Time, €80 for People — so two cafés already start around €120 to €160 per month before the per-employee adders.
Why the price climbs faster than it looks
On combohr.com/fr/pricing you read €60 per month for Time and €80 for People. The fine print: per establishment. Two sites, you double. On top come the add-ons: digital timesheet €2 per employee, payslip distribution €1.20 per employee, SILAE integration €1.50 per employee. The annual contract gives 10% off but also adds 10% overage if your headcount grows.
At SuperHoreca you pay €19 per month for Pro with unlimited staff on one site, €39 per month for Ultra with multi-venue and unlimited staff. No price per venue, no price per employee. Flexi-job calculation and the exports to SD Worx, Securex, Acerta and Group S sit inside the Pro plan.
Where Combo stays French
Combo has no Dimona integration. In practice: you build the schedule in Combo, then every day you log into the NSSO portal and file declarations by hand. For a chain in Lille or Lyon, no issue. For a brasserie in Ghent or Charleroi, that is exactly the work you wanted to automate.
The POS integrations (Lightspeed, L’Addition, Zelty, Cashpad) and the payroll links (PayFit, Silae, ADP) are tilted toward the French market. SD Worx, Securex and Partena are not listed as partners. That does not rule Combo out for Belgium, but it makes a few manual steps unavoidable each month, which is the work you were buying software to remove.

Questions we get a lot
Can I get my data out of Combo?
You export your employee file from Combo as CSV and import it into SuperHoreca. Historical schedules you leave behind — they stop being useful after a few weeks. Keep your Combo account in read-only for a month as a reference, then cancel.
Does SuperHoreca work with SD Worx and Securex?
Yes. We export timesheets in formats SD Worx, Securex, Acerta and Group S accept. No direct API, but a download button that works every month. Combo has not wired that corner of the Belgian market.
What about two venues?
At Combo that is twice the base rate per venue plus per-employee add-ons. At SuperHoreca multi-venue is inside Ultra at €39 per month total, regardless of how many sites you run. One invoice, one login.
Same time as a Combo onboarding: 30 minutes. The difference: no per-venue pricing, and Dimona figures you send straight to your social secretariat. Make an account, import your employee file, plan your first week this afternoon.
