Keeping people from camping out for free WiFi and not buying

Looking everywhere for a solution and haven't found one yet. We have two coffee shops in a busy college town and are having issues with people camping out using the free WiFi for hours on end and not buying anything. I know there are captive portal solutions to this but what we would like to have is a system where every sale generates a WiFi voucher that is good for 2 hours. You buy something, the receipt prints a voucher that will get you 2 hours of WiFi and then stop. You buy something else, another 2 hour voucher is generated.

This takes integration with a WiFi portal company but I can't seem to find anything like this so I have come here for suggestions. Any good solutions you all have found for keeping people from camping out on WiFi but not buying anything? Our POS is Toast and our CRM is Incentivio.
