Talked to a friend the other day who runs a small business. He's not a bitcoiner but I've talked to him about it here and there. He mentioned how much they have to pay in credit card fees, so naturally I brought up the ability to circumvent that using lightning. I showed him Zaprite and he seemed genuinely interested. At $25 per month for a Zaprite subscription, and assuming that you save 2% in fees and pass half of that savings back to the customer (i.e. you save 1%), you'd need to get $2,500 per month paid in Bitcoin. The conversation ended with "this doesn't quite make financial sense... yet" but I don't think it'll be long until it becomes a no-brainer for most small businesses, even if neither the business nor the customers care about Bitcoin.

$25 a month makes no sense given the amount of people willing to pay in bitcoin, but it makes sense to get a lightning wallet and bitcoin wallet in the off chance people are willing to pay in bitcoin.

Strike also has interesting business options.

Definitely! Strike's ability to receive dollars over lightning is huge! Great way to pitch Bitcoin to businesses that otherwise wouldn't care about it.
