Yes, you get a card with a code on it when you buy a meal (I think you
have to ask for it, not certain as I haven't actually done it yet). 
When you fire up your laptop and connect to the access point, you'll get
a proxy server prompt when you visit any web site.  You put in the code
to gain access.
