Hardware is not included in your Square for Restaurants subscription.

Square for Restaurants is compatible with Square Register, which comes with a customer-facing display that’s ideal for restaurants that offer takeaway. It also supports various industry-standard devices such as kitchen printers, receipt printers, cash drawers and routers, so you may be able to use your existing hardware with your Square subscription.
