We did something similar to this at a customer's site.
People can use the service, unrestricted, for 2 hours. After that they are
kicked off and have to resign in. It becomes a real hassle to use more than
2 hours.

If it is a Mikrotik AP you could do a connect list and limit the signal
strength to a respectable number. This way anyone who is further away from
the AP would not meet the minimum threshold to connect.
Otherwise I would do some scripting. Have a time limit of a couple of
hours. After the couple of hours the ³customer² is added to an access list
for 30 minutes or so redirecting all port 80 traffic to the restaurant¹s
homepage or ³we know who you are². That would be annoying enough for
someone who is pointing an antenna at the restaurant to look elsewhere.

Hey Gang
Do anyone knows a equivalent of max range for a WIFI AP? Would the ACk
parameter work?
WE have some restaurant chains with a free wifi for patrons, latest
trend in our market is some Sat Guys selling a WIFI antenna for
connecting Houses to Free WIFI Hotspots.....I would like to limi the
range on the APs for half a mile or so
