die Laufkundschaft (no pl.)
   walk-in business, walk-in customers, occasional customers

Weil die S-Bahn nicht fährt, bleibt die Laufkundschaft weg. Für die meisten Geschäfte beträgt das Verhältnis von Stammkunden zur Laufkundschaft etwa halbe-halbe.
Because the S-Bahn (commuter rail) isn’t running, the walk-in business is staying away. For most businesses the ratio of regular customers to walk-in business is about 50/50 (half-and-half).
