Abstract: A multifunctional faucet has a dispensing faucet (2) for one or more fluids (18, 19), a supply (10) for the fluids (18, 19) and a control (5). A reader (41) is arranged associated with the housing of the dispensing faucet 2 or in another area. The reader (41) receives information sent preferably in a wireless manner and is in a form such as a transponder reader or a bar code reader. The external information is preferably transmitted by an information element such as a portable transponder, a bar code strip or the like. This information may be person-related and identify the user. This information may be evaluated and processed in a higher-level control (39) by means of a corresponding program, e.g., a personnel management program. There may be regulations concerning washing cycles in restaurants or other fields in which hygiene is critical. The compliance with these washing cycles can be checked and logged on the basis of the personal data recorded by the reader (41).
