> **Video Content:** The video shows a customer at a Steak 'n Shake restaurant using a self-service kiosk to pay for their order with Bitcoin via the Lightning Network. The customer selects their items, chooses the Bitcoin payment method, and scans the QR code on the screen using their mobile wallet app. After the payment is processed, the kiosk displays a thank-you message with order number 360, while the customer's phone shows a loading confirmation screen.

Key on-screen text includes "CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS ONLY" on the wall, "Steak 'n Shake" branding, a payment total of $22.78 ($20.00 remaining to pay), and instructions to "Use a Bitcoin Lightning Wallet to scan the King QR code and complete your payment," with the final screen showing "YOUR ORDER NUMBER 360."
