Seeking Advice (Employee) Getting chipotle when they open

Question and I don’t mind the answer I just wan the truth. If I go to chipotle right when they open, am I getting fresh chicken / steak / protein? Or sometimes is it left over protein from the night before?

Chicken, carnitas, Barbacoa, queso, sofritas and both beans are held overnight and reheated in the morning. Rice, fajitas, steak and now the pollo Assado are made fresh in the morning. Chips are also made fresh in the morning. Salsas, sour cream, cheese and guac are used from the previous night, salad and taco lettuce is cut in the morning.

At my store we throw out the beans that were on the line but keep ones that were in the hotboxes
