Not played with logoutd daemon - but I thought the cron job idea was good - except, make sure a warning message pops up - and not logs you out straight away - perhaps informing an adminstrator at the cafe. Its annoying when you are downloading something - or even looking at something and your computer crashes/reboots/[logs you off, in this case]... that way you get the customer to spend more money and they will like you for posting a warning instead!!

You may be able to do that in conjunction with the logoutd daemon which will enforce login restrictions. Havn't played with it myself, but worth looking at.
